I was a little nervous when I picked up this book because I did not enjoy "She's Come Undone," the other book by Wally Lamb that I had read. I found this story to be incredibly engaging and moving, granted that may because of similarities from this book to my own family.

I was a little disappointed in the quick wrap up at the end, but overall, this was an enjoyable read.
