I am surprised how much I like this! I normally hate books with divorce and I dont admittedly know how or why this got on my list, but it did really make me love Ann Pratchett’s writing style. For a very stressful storyline, the deep relationships within the story provided a lot of coziness. If you love reading about interpersonal relationships in a book, you will enjoy this a lot. 

I dont have a ton of complaints, this didnt make my heart soar or anything with the book so it wasnt like, one to stay on my shelves forever, but I did enjoy my time with it! Id still recommend it and I’ll be looking to read Tom Lake in the near future.
