More like 2.5 stars. It was okay. Interesting story overall but I felt it jumped around a lot and **SPOILER ** 3/4 of the book was spent telling us about a trip "around the world" where most of it was spent in Australia. I learned about this family she cared for who had lost their mother. And when she was explaining those relationships she was basically explaining how she felt about her mother when she was a teenager. Which basically that she hated her (typical teenage girl reaction - sorry mom!). Then we quickly fast forwarded to present day and how her relationship with her mother changed and how she feels about being a mother now.

If it was organized a little better probably would have got three stars.
