The Art of Mending by Elizabeth Berg

3.0

I sometimes wonder why I keep reading Elizabeth Berg's books. I usually find them just so-so: the description that draws me in almost always leaves me disappointed because the book doesn't play out as well as I thought it would. This one, however, would get 3.5 stars if I could give them. Family secrets-themed books tend to get on my nerves, but Berg did a good job with this one. The characters have plenty of gray area, none of them are completely likable, and yet much of the story was completely believable. A good, quick read for the summer.
