Reading this book was similar to eating a nice home-cooked meal: well put together, enjoyable, and comforting—like the reassurance that no one is alone in having complex family relationships. But just like a home-cooked meal, nothing about this book was particularly special or adventurous; I don't think it's one that I'll remember in great detail—if at all—in the near future.
