Recommended for readers who enjoy character-driven books dealing with everyday struggles. Nina is delightful and spirited, and her engaging, charming story illustrates the humor and quirkiness of life.
This charming romance is suitable for all public libraries. ["Women's fiction for the perimenopause set, but, alas, no hot flashes": LJ 3/1/14 review of the Broadway hc.]
Dawson's chatty, third-person, present-tense narration blends her protagonists' backstories when really, this is Rosie's tale. The big reveal about Rosie's mom also comes very late, and there are no surprises in the end. Women's fiction for the perimenopause set, but, alas, no hot flashes.
Debut novelist Dawson writes simply but so clearly and with such detail that the characters feel incredibly real. Fans of women's fiction will enjoy this inside look into a marriage that has everyday challenges and one possibly unhinging test.
