I loved the clarity of the book. Anne is one of the greatest jugglers ever, just when she has you spliting your sides with laughter she touches you in an unexpected way and you find yourself crying.

If I was introducing Anne's book's to a friend I don't think that I would start with this one. This book is great as a stand alone but to really appreciated it requires the reader to already "know" Anne. Try Traveling Mercies first or Plan B then come back to this book. You will love it.
