Unfortunately, this is the first book I've read by Elizabeth Berg and I couldn't wait to finish it... so that I could start a new book. I hated it. I felt like I didn't believe the characters at. After Helen loses her husband, she can't function. I think Dan probably wiped her ass for her while he was alive, that's how pathetic this woman was. Her daughter is a bossy, condescending 27 year old who made me uncomfortable every time she appeared in the book.

The ending is predictable. Boring. Don't waste your time.
