Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and author for the opportunity to read this book.
I really fell in love with all these characters and their big, messy lives. The book opens with 3 high school best friends out for a last night before one leaves for college. Tragedy strikes and nothing is ever the same.
Fast forward 35 years. Nina has always known she was adopted but when her adopted mother passes away, she finds herself grief-stricken. She's always been curious about her "real" mom and used to invent real family stories for herself and others.
Lindy is a neurotic mom to 3 kids, running a successful salon, dealing with her adoptive mother questioning her every move, and unsure about her husband's affection. She has no room in her life for Nina who she finds out is her "real" sister.
Add Nina's love interest, an older man, and his 2 kids and you have lots of family issues. But the crux of this novel is just that - what is family?
I loved the writing style, the humor, the mess of all these lives. A great book!
