It was slow moving and like listening to a boring conversation over 3 days by a couple reunited for their daughter’s wedding.

I love quirky, prickly characters who have a hard time being vulnerable. I enjoyed this quick read, even though I wish there’d been a different and more satisfying resolution with her daughter. But this was realistic…

A quiet but surprisingly moving story about the artificial constraints we put upon ourselves and how these constraints affect the people around us. This deep dive into the complexity of the human spirit ends….. well I won’t give it away, except to say it has a very satisfying ending.

Well written, charming and uh short. If I’m paying full price I’d like an opus, thx.

Uninteresting story. I kept waiting for something important to happen, but it never did. The protagonist merely recounts each day at an unnecessary level of detail, with no real plot line, no twists or turns, no revelatory surprises. At the end, my thought was, “So what?” At least it was relatively short book.

I am an Anne Tyler fan so I enjoy everything she writes. This book is like others in that there is humor and a study of ordinary people living ordinary lives.

Written at an 8 th grade level Could have been shorten for an essay in the New Yorker
