DID NOT FINISH: 5%

DNF, thought this book was going to be something else. For a book that deals with Christian ladies serving food at funerals there is an awful lot of language in the first two chapters alone. disappointing

This is a lighthearted book with a bit of heartbreaking in the family dynamic front, hut it has a fair ending and I enjoyed reading it. It's written mainly in the voice of an old lady and a younger man, i liked the way both narrators experiences are described and how the experience of the old lady gives her insight on her granddaughters relationship, but in a caring non-judgemental way. It goes a bit in your face with religion, but not in an obnoxious way so I found it ok.
