I loved this book a lot. I read it over the course of a couple weeks but only because I wanted to savor every moment!

I loved the dual timelines. Evelyn is such a fun character. She made me laugh at her antics and her brazenness. I love her spirit for life and for not following "rules" placed on her. She falls in love as a teen to a very not Jewish young man and has to keep it secret.

Her granddaughter, Jenna, is married to a guy who has stepped out on her and living with his new girlfriend. She takes up the chance to drive her grandma up to where her family spent summers.

I really liked the way Jenna found herself. I love that her grandma gave little bits of her history which includes a secret that no one knows. I like the Jewish rep and learning a little more about their faith and how it plays into family life.

If you loved For The Love of Friends, you will NOT want to miss this one!
