Many thanks to NetGalley, Atria Books and Lisa Duffy for the opportunity to read and review this book - wonderful!
Teenage Libby lives with her dad, Bent, a soldier who was injured in the war and is now a police officer in small town Paradise. Also sharing their triplex home are Bent's two sisters, Lucy and Desiree, and Quinn, a nanny to twin boys. Quinn's husband, John, joined the military and struggled dealing with real life when he came home. He stormed out after an argument and Quinn hasn't heard from him since. She was forced to move out of their home and into the bottom floor apartment of Bent's house.
This book is filled with wonderful characters experiencing real world problems such as PTSD, addiction, grief, single parenthood. You will find yourself laughing, crying, and cheering on these characters - they feel very real. As we draw close to another Veteran's Day, makes you pause and reflect on all the sacrifices made by both the soldiers and the families remaining back home.
