Was worried I would like this book as much as everyone seems to but it was a lot better than I thought. Gorgeous writing and a cast of characters you can't help but to root for even when they aren't great people. 

A beautiful, tender take on a mother-son relationship and on how the things we don't tell shape us in so many ways. 

And the title?? I think it makes  sense once you've read the book.
