I mostly liked this book. I enjoyed the parts when she’s looking back on when her kids are little and how family vacation and life was then because I’m very much in that stage right now. And the relationship that Rocky has with her kids is so fun to read. And the parts about miscarriage and how she’s carried that grief with her all her life were hard and important to read. 

I rarely write down quotes from books but I loved these:
“I make a mental note to rearrange my heart to make a little more room for the changing realities.”

“And this may be the only reason we were put on this earth: to say to each other ‘I know how you feel.’ To say ‘same.’ To say ‘I know how hard it is to be a parent, a kid.’ To say ‘your shells stink and you’re sad! I’ve been there.”
