This book was ok. A little slow at times but a lot of different story lines that eventually all come together. I felt like the teenager story line was almost too dramatic and intense. The men except for the main characters husband are all trash and the author paints them badly. Also it bugged me they had the annual block party in May in Massachusetts when it wouldn’t be very warm. It seemed like an oversight for the author.
