Enjoyable, well drawn characters, a pleasure to read.
I really enjoyed reading this book. The story floats like a butterfly from one character to the next and it works without losing the reader.
The story, I think, follows the Flynn family and though they're painted as somewhat dysfunctional, they're all spirited in their own journey.
There's a line towards the end that reflects on the mother's character not having given up on her art career, but having chosen to be a mother. The book definitely left me with this sense: that we're okay.
There is a strong religious thread in the book (not being religious myself) but it wasn't an agenda being pushed, but rather something for some of the characters to hang on to.
Easily enjoyable. I loved the characters and would definitely recommend.
