5.13.2018 - The Optimist's Guide to Letting Go

The Optimist's Guide to Letting Go

Many thanks to NetGalley, Gallery Books and Amy Reichert for the opportunity to read her latest book - a 5 glowing star read!  And what a perfect book to finish reading on Mother's Day!

Three generations of women are having trouble connecting.  Lorraine has always been the critical voice in her two daughters' lives.  Those daughters, Gina and Vicky, are now mothers themselves.  Gina and her daughter, May, are struggling to get on with their lives and their new relationship now that Gina's husband, Drew, is gone.  When Lorraine has a stroke, it brings forth a long-held secret in the family.

This book will make you laugh and cry and leave you hungry (oh, those food descriptions!).  It's the story of family secrets, family loyalty and love, and moving on after grief.

Highly recommended - loved it!  And can I please have the recipe for those bacon caramel brownies?
