I couldn’t put it down!

Another crazy mom book

Great book, well written easy read. We are in a bookclub and it seems that we have been reading books about "crazy moms" this novel fits right in with our theme. The mother is so immature and unstable, yet the daughter is the one that is institutionalized. Friendships are important and everyone can heal and create a new understanding of how relationships work. Great book about mothers and daughters and a mom who just doesn't know herself and is in a miserable marriage because of her family's disfunction.
