This book was difficult to get into at first, and I initially thought that I wasn't meshing well with Colwin's writing style in this book. As the character grew to be more self-assured and confident, I realized that my initial discomfort was because of her people-pleasing and disconnect from her own emotions.

I grew to like the character and was in awe once again (I read another book she wrote early this year) of the creative cast of characters Colwin crafts.
