Many thanks to NetGalley and Knopf for gifting me a digital ARC of the latest novel by a favorite, Anne Tyler. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 5 stars!
Gail Baines is having a bad day. She has problems at work, her only daughter, Debbie, is getting married and Gail is feeling left out, and her ex-husband, Max, shows up at her house unannounced with a cat.
As the title states, this story takes place over three days - the day before the wedding, the wedding day, and the day after. In between, we are privy to the backstory of Gail and Max's marriage and divorce. This was the perfect book for me right now - and I love when that happens! Because my son is getting married in a few days and our issues would rival these fictional ones. Anne Tyler is always marvelous at human feelings, with stories that highlight the good and bad parts of life and relationships, with relatability, sensitivity, and humor. I couldn't put this one down and loved every word. Very highly recommended!
