Back of the Book:
“Emily has a tendency to live with one foot out the door. When her mother dramatically announces, “They’ve found a lump,” Emily gladly leaves behind her career, her boyfriend, and those pesky, unanswerable questions about who she is and what she’s doing with her life to be by her mother’s side. But back in her childhood bedroom, Emily realizes that she hasn’t run fast or far enough—especially when she opens the door, quite literally, to find her past staring her in the face”
My thoughts:
This was a fun, lighter read. Emily is in therapy and is trying to deal with the fact that she runs every time she faces the tough questions but honestly, she doesn’t seem crazy to me. I think her witty inner dialogue keeps her from going over the edge with her dramatic mother(who is hilarious too), her father who is too laid back and her sister who just goes shopping rather than dealing with life. I didn’t think that this book was too heavy, though it does deal with some tougher issues such as death, marriage, children, cancer and family relationships. I’d recommend it to anyone in the mood for a chuckle. (3.5/5)
