Katie's review of We Are All Welcome Here: A Novel
We Are All Welcome Here: A Novel by Elizabeth Berg
I vascillated between 3 stars and 4 stars on this one. I really liked it, but there were also things that I didn't like as well. Pretty cool story, and a quick read if you can get into it right away. I didn't feel like she developed the characters all the way, and it felt like the ending was rather rushed. It seemed to end rather abruptly. There were certain characters that could have added more to the story if there had been more development. The main character's Mother (Paige) has an awesome attitude and perspective on life. This book helps you feel more grateful for the things you have and the things you can do. Oh, and make sure you know what an iron lung is/looks like. I looked up a picture of one on Wikipedia because I'd never actually seen a picture of one. It helped me firm up some pictures in my imagination. Overall a good weekend read.
