Sadly, this book missed the mark for me. It stayed more on the negative path and Mattie spent 95% of the book crying over her failed marriage, with the other 5% missing her children and wanting her neighbour Nat.

Lots of negativity in this book and Mattie was not the character i thought she was. For a lady who spent the majority of her time being an all but single mother most of her married life it was disappointing to see her act like a lost puppy.

The sides of the story from the daughters lives also seemed pointless. The story should have just focused on Mattie and Nat, but it seemed like the daughters side was just space filler and the ending did seem more than a little rushed.

I did however enjoy that the story focused on a more mature woman, even though this one acted like she had been completely sheltered her whole life.
