"This book was centered around the life of one woman as she sets out to escape her past after her husband's death. She ends up far from home and rents space on a boat where she lives with two other women- one who is younger- a late teenager, and the other who is much older- in her 70's. To me this story felt like a snapshot of these women's lives, as if we just got a peak into it for a few months. At the end of the book, I felt as if their lives were still going on, the story was not closed. I enjoyed the way Coomer made these women so realistic and believable. I felt like these women could be someone I would run into in town. Coomer did a great job capturing the relationship between these women in a way that most male writers cannot do. The movement of the story was somewhat slow for me, which is why I gave it 3 stars."
"This is a beautiful story about three women who come together, each with her own unique baggage, and forge an unlikely friendship. Coomer does a commendable job of writing in a female voice and of addressing female issues with empathy and believability. I highly recommend this book and look forward to reading more from Joe Coomer."
