I liked this book, it kept me wondering just how everything would resolve itself in the end. I didn’t much care for the 18 year old daughter, Sadie. At first she was likeable but then she puts herself in a precarious position and instead of admitting it was her own doing she blames her mother. Her parents are unique in that they love each other although they don’t really get each other. Irene, the mom in the story has some cougar dating experiences but hey, some folks just get along better with younger people – maybe they particularly identify with that age group, maybe in their mind’s eye they still see themselves as that mindset, or maybe the conversation is better when folks are still young enough to be fighting for causes instead of jaded by the years that have passed without getting any further in their life’s journey than where they were 20 years before. Irene had a lot going on and her fun factor was stifled with her ex. Some folks rush into marriage before they find out who they really are which is what Irene and ex husband John try to explain to their daughter Sadie who the reader is left to decide is she imprinting on her boyfriend from a hero complex perspective or is she psychologically damaged? Could it be real? The reader gets to mull that one. A good book even with a bratty kid, but, then we have all had our moments and maybe that is what I saw. Good book, I liked the twists and how they were worked out in the plot.
