I went into this book blind just because of the title and I was so not prepared for the tearjerker it was gonna be. A story told in notes on a refrigerator exchanged between a mother and a daughter over the span of a year. The mother is a doctor and the daughter is a high school student. Their schedules barely line up for them to see each other even though they live in the same house. Until something forces them to sit down and have a real conversation. This changes the course of their relationship and bonding. An innovative approach, executed to perfection, can't believe it was the author's first novel.
