You’ll adore this heartfelt story, because three generation of women want nothing more than to connect, but often time runs out. Get it now.
This story was slow, but something had me hooked from the beginning. It wasn't some major hook or some mystery. It was the every day life struggles that I see so many people go through. This story was raw and emotional and a bit predictable. Maybe it's my author brain looking for the plot twist. There's most ALWAYS a plot twist. I was right. Great character development. I fell right into the family dynamics and visioned every person, house and detail vividly in my mind. Worth the late night read. A few minor grammar issues but enough to overlook.
I'd give this book 3.5 stars, if that were an option. The story relates well the difficulty of alcoholism & family dynamics. I was confused for awhile when the focus changed to finding Margo's father & reading the diaries, and how that fit. It took a while to get to the point of that part & how it was important in relation to her alcoholism. I liked the ending.
