Synopsis

How well do you really know the people in your life?

Annabel O’Conner has the perfect husband, two adorable children, an amazing job, and the mother from hell! Annabel doesn’t like it but has come to terms with the fact that her relationship with her mother, Bea, deteriorated to the point of forced and strained communications. However, an unscheduled call from Bea turns her world around and makes Annabel question everything she believed about her life.

Despite the fact secrets, lies, and misplaced blame have destroyed the women’s relationship; Annabel reluctantly agrees to help Bea plan her wedding. Little does Annabel know the impact of her decision.

In this Women’s Contemporary Fiction novel, Hilary Grossman explores the complex relationship that exists between mothers and daughters in a light-hearted and relatable manner.

Review

When I started reading this book I did not expect the book to such a powerful impact and that there are always two sides to a story.

In the beginning, you feel for Anna and her relationship with her mother Bea. Bea does come across as very selfish and self centered but as the book continues you learn more her background and why she might have done the things she did while Anna was growing up. Anna also learns a lot about herself and realizes that maybe she is stronger than she thinks too.

The book combines humor and real life into a story that could be told by any of us.

The story is very well written and in fact there is a sneak peek to the next book that is about Cecelia, Anna’s best friend. I was thinking as I reading the last few chapters that Cecelia has a story that needed to be told.  We give this 5 paws up!
