This book was just extremely meh for me. I wasn't attached to any of the characters and didn't feel engaged with the story. The plot feels very predictable and boring, and I just felt like there wasn't any point. It had some good moments and lines, and was well written. It just didn't grab me.

Nobody can match Anna Quindlen for quiet, intimate character studies and beautiful language that captures the truth of small moments. This is one of her best books since One True Thing. Quick but memorable.
