Many thanks to NetGalley, Berkley, and Abbi Waxman for the opportunity to read and review her latest book - loved it! I was a huge fan of Garden of Small Beginnings and this one definitely didn't disappoint. I'm actually quite surprised that the ratings aren't higher for this one!
This is one of those stories that takes a look into people's lives and shows that we never really do know what goes on in other people's houses - or even our own sometimes. Frances is the glue in her neighborhood - she's in charge of the carpool that takes all the kids to their various schools, back home again, even watching others at her house. When she inadvertently catches her neighbor having an affair, it opens up issues for the entire neighborhood.
Waxman's writing is just so spot on that I couldn't wait to dive back into this book. She had me laughing, cringing, and relating to so many of the characters and happenings. Multiple points of view are expressed from the different characters in a unique way that really lets you get into their thoughts. And did I mention that it's hilarious?
Great book!!
