sarahsbookstack 's review for:
Good Grief: A Novel
by Sara Goodman Confino
emotional
funny
lighthearted
medium-paced
Another winner of a book from Sara!
Oh Ruth! How she made me laugh even when she was being the "monster"-in-law some women complain about. I could totally sense the frustration Barbara has with her though and I think that really appealed to me (maybe because my own MIL is quite wonderful and helpful in a way that is actually very helpful when needed).
Barbara was just doing her best after the loss of her husband. She had two wonderful young kids. She may, of course, have needed help for a bit after but did she really need her MIL to MOVE IN? But Barbara as a character was pretty classy and she was so good at being able to keep her cool even when I might have "blown a gasket" myself. Oh and can't forget sweet Eddie. So amazingly helpful and you could just feel his reasons shining through the page .
The conclusion was so heartwarming and I will miss these characters. Oh, plus the addition of a name and one character from previous novels showing up was a fun surprise.
