I love all the Anne Tyler books I’ve read so far. This one was enjoyable but I wouldn’t say it’s the best. It was good but I’d probably recommend her other books before this one. It’s a book mainly about the hardships of marriage and relationships between children and family.
I like donating money to charities. I like helping out organizations that do good in the world. I like knowing that my money is going to a good cause.

I thought this book was funny – I don’t quite know if it was meant to be as funny as I thought it was!
