it was amazing
bookshelves: favorites-of-2021

I loved this book! It was absolutely hilarious. I can't even remember the last time that I  laughed out loud so much while reading a book!!

This is a story about three generations of women living in the same house, but mostly focuses around the grandmother and her granddaughter; their relationship was so sweet. The grandmother was extremely feisty, frank and outspoken and talked to her granddaughter like she was an adult; I loved her character so much.

This book was about love and fighting through the hard times that life puts in your path but was a lot more than that. It really focused on the imperfect and in finding the beauty in those moments. It is okay to make mistakes and lose control, or go a little crazy sometimes, you just need to fight to find your way back.

Overall, I was left with a strong feeling of love and hope. I would definitely recommend this book and am already planning to read it again.

"She would rather join a losing team than win a lonely fight."

I was provided a copy of this book through Netgalley in exchange for my honest opinion.

C.  (Comment, never msg). I have several of Miriam's works on my shelf, being a Manitoban! I must delve into her soon. I didn't think she sounded humorous, so this new release is to be looked forward to, Candie. Thank you for your happy reaction!

Yes, I never realized either. I have had her book Women Talking on my shelf for a while but I just keep looking over it, I will have to read it now and hope it is consistent with her writing in this book.
