Once in awhile you just need to read something “light.” Something that doesn’t terrify you,
doesn’t challenge your thinking, something that lets your mind unwind. Suzanne Kelman’s novel
did just that...sort of. I was intrigued by the eclectic mix of characters, especially Doris and Ethel.
I enjoyed the small town setting off the coast of Washington state, the ongoing racoon battle,
and the rocky relationship between Janet and her daughter. The cynic in me found it hard to
believe the over-the-top kindness of strangers in the story. (but that’s just me) Kelman made me
laugh out loud and tear up. This novel is just what I needed.
