I had trouble with the first 2 chapters and didn't think I would like the book but, kept reading since it was for book club. I'm glad I did. I really enjoy stories that deal with human relationships and have interesting characters. People have different perspectives about a situation due to their past experiences. While we may not agree with how a person handles a situation or the choices that person makes, it's interesting to look at it from their perspective and try to understand. Useful tool for real life too!
