Received this book as an advanced reader's copy from Net Galley. 
 This is the second book by Jojo Moyes I've read this year and I am hooked. She reminds me of Ann Patchett although not quite as lyrical. She gets real emotion and the flaws and quirks that make us human. 
 This novel gives us a modern family held together by Jess, the matriarch and eternal optimist, who continues to love her kids under increasingly difficult circumstances enduring poverty, bullying, a deadbeat ex and more. The book is an adventure covering the full range of emotions and I am a sucker for a satisfying ending. I thoroughly enjoyed the entire book and had a hard time putting it down. Definitely recommended.
