Gail's only daughter is getting married. The day before the wedding is not a good one for Gail. First she loses/quits her job, then some drama makes her concerned about her daughter's big day, and finally, her ex-husband shows up at her house because he cannot stay with anyone else due to the cat he has in tow. 

Thank you Anne Tyler and Knopf for this eARC in exchange for a review. All thoughts here are mine and mine alone.

This was a delightful novella following only three days of Gail's life. It was well-executed and had a strong storyline even if it left the reader wanting more at the end. It felt very realistic and relatable in its dry humor and mishaps. The only thing I can critique it on is that I wanted more of the characters. More backstory, more thoughts, etc.

I definitely recommend this one as it is quick and enjoyable. It is a good story to curl up in a chair with and read in one sitting.
