This was my first Anne Tyler book which I was surprised about. I don't know why it took me so long to read one of her books.
The writing of this novella is very well done, I could feel everything the characters were feeling. I enjoy reading about characters over the age of 50 and since there is not enough books like that I was very interested in this one.
Unfortunately, I found it very hard to relate to Gail. She was frustrating and annoying. She was able to defend herself in certain examples but had a half-hearted attitude toward other situations. In real life I would not like Gail. Max, was somewhat naive and too laid back.
Although the writing was well done, the ending was not. It felt undone. There needed to be just a bit more.
