Summary
 Ester is a family therapist with an appointment book that catalogues the anxieties of the middle class: loneliness, relationships, death. She spends her days helping others find happiness, but her own family relationships are tense and frayed. Ester is yearning to fall in love again. Meanwhile, her sister is struggling through her own directionless life; her ex-husband’s past decisions are catching up with him; and her mother is about to make a choice that will profoundly affect them all.©2016 Georgia Blain (P)2017 W.F.

It slowly drew me in and by the end I was hooked and wanted more. The narrator brought the characters to life and was pleasant to listen to.

A gentle yet powerful story

Blain creates characters that you feel you know by the time you get half-way through the book and by the end you love them (and hate them). My fave was Hilary: what a woman! She is a mother who feels with all the emotion of a mother and loves her girls more than life itself - and that is why the book ends as it does. NO Spoilers here - read it and love it.

This story is filled with the frailties and richness of the people within its covers … a deep dive and so very real.

It has its moments, mostly aesthetic descriptions and the melancholy, but I struggled to stay with it. Didn't really care about the characters and certainly couldn't relate to them. Well written, but not my thing.

Struggled to get through it

I struggled to stay with it. I wasn't sure of the point and found it to be over-descriptive. I feel like it is well written but not right for me, rather than it just being a poor quality book.

Not my style
