This book gives the reader so much more than is suggested by the description. I expected light & interesting, chick lit. I enjoyed a smooth read and a story that left me thinking deeply: women's fiction. The characters are so real I think I might have met them sometime that year (I was Ginger's age then) and the humor emerges natually. I laughed out loud! A detail I savored, being a therapist: the account of Margie's therapy was well done and spot on.On the surface, running away might seem the worst choice to fix the problems Margie has. Not so; this is no black and white, simply solved situation. Gently revealing the complexities from the first page to the last gives this novel its depth. Just how solutions come about, well, it's in the book. And Margie's daughter has the best closing line of any book I've read in the past two years. So go read it!**This is a clean enough read with sexuality behind closed doors (no touch by touch descriptions) and occasional 'colourful' words.**
