I’ve seen a decent amount of criticism about this book but I enjoyed it. I think it was a wonderful example of the power of women. I enjoyed the small backstory related to the mystery of Calvin’s parentage, it added a small mystery to the book. And I particularly enjoyed the ending where Elizabeth invites Parker over for dinner with the “family,” and in that family includes not only her and Mad, but Walter, Harriet, Amanda, and her doctor.
