If you are a Tyler fan, you will love this short novel about Gail Baines, who not only gets fired from her job but also has to deal with her ex-husband, who shows up on her doorstep (with a foster cat in tow) and needs a place to stay while attending their daughter’s wedding. She is also grappling with a bombshell secret about her daughter that may prevent the wedding from happening.

If you’ve read this author, you will understand how good she is at creating everyday, flawed, awkward, and quirky characters who are never comfortable in their own skin, and this is no exception.
