My book club read this book and all of us liked it. It was difficult to read at times (especially for those of us who have daughters) because of Leigh's strained relationship with Kara. We talked a lot about how their relationship got so bad and how Leigh's upbringing affected her parenting skills despite her desire to be a better mother than her own mother was. We really liked the author's ability to help the reader see inside Leigh's character by describing her body language and thoughts. Overall I would rate it a good book to generate discussion at book clubs.
