Good read overall, despite being another not-so-flattering depiction of psychiatrists.

I wish the main character would have hit the kid. Would have made for a better plot.

Solid three stars. Enjoyed this story of the people in a small New England town. I listened to this on audiobook and what really made the experience exceptional was the narrator. I am now interested in reading more of Ann Leary's work.

My latest audiobook listen had its moments, but I felt it could have been edited down a bit. The ending was a little underwhelming after all of the build up. The peek inside the head of an alcoholic in denial was interesting. The reader was perfect for the part.
