A very thought provoking story of a woman in search of her happy.. I have read many books where it takes a drastic event to get the character out of a rut and fully living life, but this is the first taken from this angle. The delicate subject matter is handled deftly with lots of levity interwoven and I came away with a more informed view. The endurance of friendship, the complexity of family, social stigmas and the struggle to find purpose, love and happiness in the face of adversity and fallibility coalesce into a beautiful example of the tenacity of the human spirit.

Such a heartfelt story! I enjoyed May's writing and found the book to be entertaining. While not an all-time favorite, it was still a good book to read in between the mysteries I've been into lately. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.
