I found Life on the Refrigerator Door in the super-discount bin at Barnes&Noble, thought it was an interesting concept and picked it up.
It wasn't a fantastic book and only took me about 40 minutes to read, but it certainly had a strong message.
This epistolary work is written in the form of notes between a mother and daughter left on the refrigerator as they just miss each other going through the motions of their busy lives.
When I first read the book, I felt both mother and daughter were selfish and over-dramatic. However, the more I reflect on the novel, the more real the characters have become. Faced with a dire situation at home, they both have very believable reactions to the crisis.
I am, however, still angry at the characters for not sitting down to talk about the problems they were facing. But I suppose that's the message - to not wait until it's too late to spend time with the ones you love.

Um livro super pequeno e bastante rápido de ler, mas com uma mensagem super bonita. Adorei :)
Tää oli tavallaan tosi simppeli, mutta jäi kuitenkin mieleen.

This is a book of short notes from mother to daughter. Through these notes you see the trials of a teen and her mother as they go through everything from boyfriends to cancer. It was really touching in some places.
This was a very quick read - maybe an hour at the most if that much. However, I really enjoyed it, and I cried in the end. I recommended this book to others who like a slightly different way of storytelling.

um...it would certainly make parents appreciate their kids more or vice versa. I don't know..the idea of the novel being written in refrigerator notes makes it hollow.
