I like the fact that mental illness was part of the story. I really related to the story, because my mother had mental illness when I was growing up.

it was very difficult to listen to her tremulous, whispering voice. She had good emotion, but the whispering almost made me quit.

Easy listening and paints a beautiful picture. Liked the characters and the relationships they shared.

Nancy Thayer has always created the most delightful characters whom we have known ourselves, and yet not really because they do such creative and unpredictable things. Real, but likable. Things kept happening here which kept me “tuned” all through it. I could have listened longer. I’ve been a fan of hers about 40 years—so glad she’s still writing.

One of the best books in my life in a long time! What a good job, Nancy! Very, very interesting family, each person explained, and brought to life so well. Just loved it all.
Except the narrator, didn’t really care for her whispery voice, and how she kind of drew each word out. I don’t recommend her for future narrating for any author. I’m putting her in my notes as a no.
Looking forward to your next book Nancy! You’ve had so many good ones, I think I’ve read, at least most of them, probably the ones I didn’t were the ones I didn’t care for the narrator as I only get audible books now. Thanks again!

I really thought this would be like an Elin Hildebrand book, but it turned out to be so corny and unrealistic even for a beach read. I stuck with it because I paid for it, but otherwise would have moved on.

Can’t handle the reading, the story is probably good. It’s too bad… I probably would like the book.

I couldn’t believe the women in this book were described as adults. The youngest of the women was simply insufferable and the other behavior left a lot to be desired. I was disappointed in the story.

Too cheesy even for a beach read. I didn’t like the idea of trying to mix mental health with such far-fetched and shallow storylines. The relationships and interactions were underdeveloped and uninteresting.
