The Book That Matters Most by Ann Hood

2.0

overall a good read, not great. i found that there were too many extraneous characters (roxy, most of the book club members, ava's father, ava's son) who didn't do anything to further the story line. for any one who is triggered by stories of addiction this book should be avoided as one of the p.o.v is maggie's daughter who becomes addicted to heroin. plot was alright if not a bit uneven and the ending...well let's say it was all super convenient and leaned heavily on coincidence. meh. hood's "the obituary writer" was better.
