Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ

I immediately put my hold in at the library for this one after loving The Most Fun We Ever Had (the multitude of houses on the cover was just a bonus here). I went into it blind without reading the blurb or any reviews, but I couldn’t help but notice all my Å·±¦ÓéÀÖâ€� friends and their plethora of Stars which had me like . . . .



I was REALLY afraid I was going to be a wrongreader because the one thing I simply can’t abide by in either real life or fiction is an extramarital affair. I mean it’s just so easy to NOT have one, you know???? And judge me all you want for being holier than thou, but I can’t personally think of a justification of why it would ever be okay. But really nothing is so much of a dealbreaker for me that I won’t continue reading a book and I am so glad I did.

Affair aside, I loved this novel. The “mommy issues� � the intergenerational friendship � the soon-to-be empty nester middle-age leading lady, and even the “things we never get over� made for an absolutely fantastic read. And Jules� ended up being someone I loved and totally could relate to for the most part . . .

“You want to get some dinner? What are you in the mood for?�

Xanax. An entire pack of cigarettes. Several horse tranquilizers.

I ended up reading Sandwich right after this by pure coincidence. They shared many of the same themes and I’m disappointed in myself to report they both . . . .



Highly recommend each of them.
