It’s grace from grace and Frankie
Wrapped up in some small rich town drama based around her issue.
It reads like yer her manicurist and she’s updating you once a week or so about townie drama and trying to deny her own problem

Many times I complain that books are under edited. In this case, I feel that the book was given a hatchet job. There are story lines that just completely stop, never to be mentioned again. It's very disjointed.

This was an excellent book. Funny, sad, shocking and true to life. A great read.
You wouldn't think a book about an alcoholic would be enjoyable, but it is! Hildy is a ridiculous, unstable narrator but she's fascinating. A trainwreck you can't look away from! My one complaint about this book is that all the smaller storylines are a bit much at times, and I would have liked something more to tie them together. Overall though, this is a great book, especially the audio version. Check it out!
3.5. Character-based novel narrated by an alcoholic, middle-aged real estate agent named Hildy, who lives and works in a small New England community near Boston. Funny, unreliable narration, so authentic that a couple passages were boring to me because they felt so small-town - the history of a particular store or person, unrelated to the plot, just details, exactly how the character would talk or narrate her inner life.
Was going for a 4-star, but then the ending was about a 2, so I split the difference and went with a 3-star rating.
