I'm shocked by the terrific reviews that this book has generated. While the premise was interesting and I was somewhat engaged by the first half of the book, the last half felt forced to me - the actions of the main character and the requisite happy ending tied up too neatly and quickly. Maybe it's me, but I'd like to think I'm not too old for stories about family, love and relationships that are well written. This one didn't fill the bill for me.
