Shortridge;s books are deceptive; easy reading but very complex characterizations. Great settings and the people are all fascinating with their quirks, flaws and charms. Read her other books also.

Enjoyable read from a fine writer.

The starving artist returns home to mend family bonds. A quick read that almost everyone can relate to in some fashion.

I enjoyed this book from the beginning to the end. I thought it was well written and engaging. It certainly was a quick read as I found myself unable to put the book down once I started reading it. The author did a fine job in portraying the effects of mental health problems on all of the characters given the confines of the space allowed in the book. I would read a book by her again.
Found myself caring about the characters in this well written book and missing them when I was finished reading. JS writes well and I enjoyed her descriptive phrasing.
Loved this book!
Good book.
"Full of big dreams for the fast life, Tallie Beck hit the road at the age of 17 to become a rock and rol star-and bowed to never look back. Now at 34, she's little more than a down and out singer dumped by her band" Returning to her family is funny and bittersweet.
