Really enjoyable quick read. The characters are all so well-rounded and distinctive, even the dog, and I had a smile almost the whole time, except for the two times it made me tear up. Elizabeth is a great character, and I loved seeing her friendship with Harriet and the doctor. At times, it felt a bit heavy-handed with some second-wave feminism, but perhaps that is due to the direct, blunt prose.

I was not expecting this book such an enjoyable story, it was very smart and quirky I hope myself laughing out loud to the story. I love the FMC and her daughter!
