Asher’s latest is endearing, tumultuous and an all-around wonderful read. The family is quirky and entertaining, yet readers will see a bit of themselves in each member. Filled with scenes of romance, family secrets, learning to grow up and learning to move on, this novel has something for everyone. The tale will stay with readers long after it is completed.
Augusta has long told her children that their absent father is a spy, and that is why he hasn’t been a part of their lives. Now adults, Ru, Esme and Liv think this is just a fanciful story their mother invented to keep them from learning the truth about their father. After Hurricane Sandy, the women come back together and a long-held secret comes to light. Will the truth finally set them free?

Thank you for allowing me to review this book. I appreciate it. I found, however, that it was quite different than I anticipated, and I can't provide a favorable review. Rather than negatively review a book that didn't suit my preferences, I will just provide this feedback directly to the publisher. I am sure that there are others who loved and enjoyed this book, but it did not suit me.
Thank you for understanding.

I got halfway through this book and unfortunately I was really bored. I didn't connect with any of the characters and it felt as though there were almost too many to get much complexity out of each of them. I just found myself not caring about any of them or about the drama was that happening.
