This starts out really slow.
But about a third of the way in, things turn a corner.
The story starts to acknowledge that the main character (Eleanor) is full of repressed anger. And then a family tragedy occurs.
This section has kept me reading, rather than skimming. The writing is good.

This is so much a better book than "The Bird Hotel." So much more real life in this novel.
Also, I really hate Eleanor's husband, Cam. I despise this guy. He is peak King Baby hobosexual. He's mean, and he's a leach. Now he's leaving his wife for the babysitter, who only just turned 18? God, this guy is gross.
I'm sooooo glad that I haven't had to live Eleanor's life! Ugh.
