I did not really like this book because I did not care for it. It's a sad story by design but you cannot build a relationship out of notes on a fridge door, and while that's part of the message of the book it's also the reason I didn't feel connected to any of the characters which we don't really get to know. It took me only 20ish minutes to read, which definitely contributed. I did not have enough time to digest the story before it ended.

A poignant collection of refrigerator notes between a mother and her teenage daughter. This is a very quick read! I'd recommend it to any of the women in my life - and would give it a G rating.

Read again in 2018 for a YW book club

Was a unique read. Most definitely an empathetic story of communication, love and a bond between mom and daughter.

A roller-coaster ride of emotions, though it was somewhat predictable in certain areas. Especially for people who experienced similar situations I can see this hitting home.
