book 52

The Rest of Her Life, Laura Moriarty
rating:


Laura Moriarty rocks because she lives in my new home state of Kansas. I read her last novel, The Center of Everything, years and years ago, and loved it. I enjoyed this one as well. It's about a woman whose teenage daughter is involved in a car accident. It deals a lot with the family dynamic, especially the mother-daughter relationship. I thought it was a good read, and I like Moriarty's simple writing style, but I feel like it would have resonated with me more if I had a child. My sister, who has two daughters, vouches for its relatability on that level, though.
