A book with quite an interesting character who is trying to keep a lot of things in the air and I am not sure she is doing it all that well. Tess has grown up a lot since the novella reviewed this morning and she has created quite the to do list to accomplish. She has quite the hurdles in her life to overcome - a medical diagnosis for her and for her daughter, a husband who doesn't seem connected in the relationship and a son who is doing the teenage years.

This as well as the novella have an interesting narrator - an imaginary friend. I am not sure that I enjoyed having this really different narration - I didn't mind it as much in the novella due to the girls being childhood ages, but being adults and having this imaginary friend tell the story was just a little odd. AND it was hard to read at a few times, I wish Tess had told her own story, it made me feel less connected to Tess.
