“Great book and not just for women. As a guy, I can also relate to the story of being left when you least expect it-- plus I appreciate the strong cast of male as well as female characters.”

“terrific quick read with a lot of heart. Great book for any woman who's been left or had to start over in the middle of life's journey. See also Open House by Elizabeth Berg. Popular fiction with a literary quality.”

Lots of laughs, and now and again something so touching it takes my breath away, Reminds me of Remains of the Day. ”

“I'd give this book a 6. I really thought I'd enjoy it more. The one thing that drove me crazy was that Eve's mother kept getting called different names in the book, i.e., Mrs. Dunrea, Mom, Mother, Charlotte. I wish it was more consistent. ”

Yes | No2 of 2 members found this review helpful“I distinctly enjoyed the voice and atmosphere of this book. It brought together a lot of threads regarding family, marriage, true happiness, finding and making space for oneself, friendship and community. I thought it worked a lot like a web, and by the end the web had become a much more beautiful and complex thing. Good for readers who like books like "Open House" by Elizabeth Berg. Funny/sad, I'd say.”

I look forward to the next masterpiece by Liz Rosenberg.”

Very funny, tender book about life in a small city. Story of abandonment and hope, good for the heartbroken in need of laughter cure. ”
