Little Children by Tom Perrotta
4.0

Just reading all the Tom Perrotta books at once! This story about two unhappy stay at home parents learning what it means to be happy over the course of a summer. At the same time, a registered sex offender has returned from jail to live with his mom in the same sleepy town. Chaos and self discovery ensues.
I thought this was a painful book to read. Not necessarily bad to read. Just a lot of different characters pulling my emotions all over the place - feeling happy for this one but the heartbroken for this one, etc. Overall good though. I enjoyed how much everyone made me think.
