Shelter in Place by Nora Roberts

Not my favorite, but not bad. Great title for the times we find ourselves in.
One thing I need to highlight, mostly because I just watched a television show that had the exact same problem... If you have a character that has some level of accomplishment, and another character, specifically a parent, hates them, there needs to be a good reason why. Simone's mother's behavior towards Simone didn't make a lick of sense to me because it wasn't explained. I was left with the assumption that Simone's mom (Tulip) was just a raging b**** who seemed to have a rather charmed life through no apparent effort of her own and for some reason, she had to hate her "weird, artsy" daughter. Highly discordant element of the book that was really glaring overall.
