I liked amazing Grace Adams, although it was a bit of a difficult read. I felt so heartbroken for Grace and her difficult relationship with her daughter - and her difficult relationship with herself. I think she could use a dose of Glennon Doyle.

Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read to this book!

I enjoyed this one and I highly recommend. I binged read this in one day!

I started in with Grace, and stayed to the very end, but must admit I was more sympathetic with Lotte and Ben than Grace. I should have been more in her corner than I was, but the way the writing was divided and unconnected felt like a puzzle I wasn't invested in enough to build my relationship with Grace.

About halfway through when revelations of what pieces go with who, that's when I started enjoying the tale, but still my sympathies were stronger for Ben and Lotte, right to the very end. The ending was satisfying, and if there was a sequel, I'd be on board. . . .but would want a stronger connection with the story's main point / protagonist through the narrative flow. So, 3 stars from this girl.

Looking forward to more from Ms. Littlewood.

*A sincere thank you to Fran Littlewood, Henry Holt & Company, and NetGalley for an ARC to read and independently review.*

The story started out capturing me. But, then it became disjointed with the story going in too many directions. It a story about the best and worst of one woman - Grace Adams. Trigger warnings: pedophile and loss of a child. Thank you #NetGalley, #HenryHoltandCo., #FranLittlewood and #AmazingGraceAdams for the advance readers copy for my honest review.

I really enjoyed this one. I found it captivating and an enjoyable read. What a character. I find these books great to read in the fall.

I enjoyed this book immensely. I liked the character flaws in Grace Adams and how her story unravels slowly throughout the book. Definitely worth the read!

This book was a struggle for me. I tried really hard to like the main character but I found I just couldn’t relate and I only sort of felt bad for her.

I think the timeline could have used some work. Instead of one day gone horribly wrong I think things should have happened over a period of time.

I’d like to thank NetGalley and Henry Holt and Co got the advanced readers copy in exchange for my honest review.

I was surprised by how compelling this story was. I attribute this to the page-turning suspense Littlewood was so deftly able to create. I blew through this book in 2 days because I had to see where this was all going! The title character, Grace Adams is having a terrible, horrible, very bad, no good day and she just can't take it anymore. Her marriage is over, her professional life is diminished, her teenage daughter hates her, she's struggling with unaddressed emotional trauma, and to top it all off, she's perimenopausal. It wasn't until I finished the book and read the acknowledgments page that the author was inspired by the 1993 film, Falling Down and I can really appreciate this modernized and feminized revisioning. This would be a good book club pick and I recommend this book to any woman who is sick and tired of being sick and tired.

Wow! I could not believe this was a debut novel. Amazing Grace Adams is definitely one to add to your TBR list. A family drama mixed with female fiction with a wonderful main character in Grace. I love a good book with different timelines and this did not disappoint. Timelines were easy to follow and really flowed. This was a quick and easy read.

Thank you to Henry Holt & Co as well as NetGalley for my copy of "Amazing Grace Adams".

I absolutely ADORED this book! Read with Jenna picks have been increasingly up my alley, and this one deeply resonated. A woman in her mid-40s, estranged from her daughter, treks across London to deliver her a cake for her 16th birthday. As she fumbles through the city we get flashbacks to various points in her life and slowly uncover how she got to where she is now. So much of this was relatable, heartbreaking, and heartwarming. I laughed and cried, and finished it feeling very seen.

I really enjoyed the concept and plot of this book, however some of the execution was either far fetched or over complicated. Overall I enjoyed it, but felt like it would have made a really fun novella. The last scene was the most exciting.

We find forty-something linguist Grace Adams in the midst of great change: her changing body, marriage, and daughter. In telling Grace's story, Littlewood jumps back and forth in time, slowly revealing the details that led to her separation, tension with her 16-year-old daughter, and overall cracking façade.

Littlewood's writing is real and raw. We are right there with Grace as she rages, she pines, and she grieves. I appreciate that the ending is pleasantly resolved but not an overly forced happy ending. Littlewood's storytelling and revelations give Amazing Grace Adams a fast flow and make for a heart-warming--and breaking--read.

Great book. Great cover. Unfortunately, the cover does not fit the book. Based on that, you’d imagine Grace Adams decided she didn’t give an f and started terrorizing class moms a la the Class Mom series. This book is actually deep and emotional — about a divorced woman in middle-age who is going through a serious mental health crisis. I really enjoyed it and highly recommend it but know what you are getting in to.

An interesting story but I was not blown away. I was lost in some sections of the timelines and the recall. There was just a lot going on. Still, I am happy to have read it.
Many thanks to Henry Holt & Company and to Netflix for providing me with a galley in exchange for my honest opinion.

I just didn't connect with this book as much as I wanted to. I think I was hoping for more of a where'd you go Bernadette vibe. But it wasn't bad.

Unfortunately this book didn’t work for me and was a DNF but I am sure other readers will feel differently! Thank you for the ARC!

I wanted this to be funnier but I think that it hit a little to close to home with how women have to balance everything and sometimes it just falls apart.

Thanks #netgalley for this book in exchange for an honest review. While I enjoyed this book, I felt like it moved slowly and switched to so many different timelines that I had a hard time keeping interest. I would have enjoyed more time in each timeline and less skipping between. Overall a good story.

I wanted to love this one because the premise felt so relatable but I struggled with the writing style and overall execution of the story. Timelines were difficult to navigate though and the pacing was a bit off.

This one was tough because I had high expectations due to it being a Jenna's book pick. It was a little farfetched for me and I honestly didn't love Grace the way I had hope to love her. I also didn't love Eleanor, so I guess this tracks. Overall, the writing was good, but it just wasn't my favorite. Thank you netgalley for this arc in exchange for my honest opinion.
