How do I even begin to describe this book…
First off, I ABSOLUTELY LOVED this book. Thank you @negall for the ebook and thank you @prh for the audio – both were absolutely amazing but I ultimately ended up attached to the audio because the narrator did such a fantastic job.
Summary - When Jack and Elizabeth meet as college students in the ’90s, the two quickly join forces and hold on tight, each eager to claim a place in Chicagos thriving underground art scene with an appreciative kindred spirit. Fast-forward twenty years to married life, and alongside the challenges of parenting, they encounter numerous quandaries.
The summaries for this book seriously don’t even begin to capture all that this brick has to offer. Wellness has a lot of humor, which I was not expecting at all, surrounding getting older, life, parenting, etc. Hill somehow manages to get to the heart of what parenting can feel like from a woman’s perspective insanely well – which led me to google him and he doesn’t appear to even have kids !!
I knew I would not be able to capture the amazingness of this book but if you liked The Nix, if you like introspective/satirical books, if you like smart and witty prose PLEASE give this book a go. I gIve it FIVE CAPITALIZED STARS.
