Great book, this one I will keep and read again. I can't wait to discuss with book club this month. The writing was so rich and well done.

This really would've benefited from it being longer and having multiple POVs so we could really get the nitty gritty of family dynamics. Like “dinner at a homesick restaurant.”

The last line was cute though.

“Once upon a time, there was a woman who discovered she had turned into the wrong person.” Such an enticing opening that the book fully delivered upon.
