3.5⭐ (rounded up) My first book by Claire Lombardo and I enjoyed it. It was a long one, so I took my time. It's a family saga, and the story of a middle age mom, Julia, with two grown children and a seemingly happy life. Yet she deals with struggles of her own. You'll read about her relationships and challenges with her marriage, her children and her own mother. This is more about Julia and character driven than about the plot. It's very realistic and I felt so sad for Julia in parts of this book. I enjoyed reading about Julia's relationship with her children and the problems she's dealt with in her marriage. Like I said though, this book definitely was on the long side and I feel it could've been shorter. I do think the audiobook would've been a big help with this one. But overall an interesting family story.
