4.5 stars

I don't know why but I cried through several scenes in this book... a good cry. I honestly didn't expect much. I often don't have high hopes for fiction books by celebrity authors but I enjoyed these characters, found the story to be compelling, and connected with it in a way that I didn't anticipate. It wasn't perfect but it was definitely an enjoyable ride.

Bonus: it was full of references to the Lorain/Avon area of northeast Ohio.
