UPDATE: I just listened to the audio version and like the book much better! I’d give it 3.5 stars.
I was hoping to like this book a lot more, but it took me about half way through to really like the characters.

I received this ARC from the publisher and netgalley for my honest review.
This book reminded me of "Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine" in that we have an awkward character and we learn her reason of why she is the way she is and we witness her butterfly coming out story.

I really enjoyed this book. It was nice to see the main character, Martha, work her way through her personal and family relationship issues.
