The Good House by Ann Leary
4.0

I thoroughly enjoyed this audiobook! The character of Hildy Good was an excellent one - even though she was rough around the edges and in constant denial of her alcoholism. The ending takes a dark and sad turn, but redeems itself when Hildy rechecks herself back into rehab - on her OWN - no intervention - no meddling - this was all her OWN decision mind you! :-)

Mary Beth Hurt embodied Hildy Good perfectly. She made me laugh out loud many times. This is one of those audiobooks where it elevates the story, and I'm certain I enjoyed this far more than I might have had I just read it.
