Nope! Not for me. When your main character is a cranky, old woman who comes across as selfish and down right nasty, it becomes an automatic fail for me. The sad thing is that I stuck with the entire book because the other characters made excuses for her acting that way. Made it sound like her past was the cause. So I stuck with it waiting for the ultimate reveal. When it finally happened, my brain was like a very full untied balloon. Suddenly it was let go and the balloon went crazy. Hissing like mad around my head only to ultimately fall flat. It ended up being such a lame excuse. She acted terribly in the past so her mad reasoning was to continue to act that way. Her overreaction to her son and comparing it to the son's father was just too far-fetched for me. She finally redeemed herself in the epilogue but by then, it was too late. I did like a lot of the other characters. Too bad the book wasn't about them.
