Reminded me of Maine by Sullivan or even Three Weissmanns of Westport. Entertaining read, if not earth shattering. The characters are all kind of whiny, all disappointed because life isn't handing them everything they always dreamed of, all looking to see what someone else has and being jealous of it. Really, there are no problems in this book that couldn't be solved by a solid sawt upside the head. I will say that one or two images of parents looking at their adult children and remebering the young children they were really resonated with me, but all in all just a story like many others.
