As a character study of Amanda, the narrator of the story, and her grandmother, "The Bad, The Good, and Two Fly Fishing Women" is a pleasant enough read. The story captures the special relationship a grandparent and grandchild often have. But this isn't enough to carry a story.The apparent goal is for Amanda to reach some kind of closure, understanding or at least forgiving her mother after she leaves he and her father for another man. The description says Amanda's experiences teach her to forgive her mother, and the story ends with her doing that. However, I'm still not certain how Amanda went from point A to point B. Whether I'm too dense to put the pieces together or the points are too subtle, I'm not sure.**Originally written for "Books and Pals" book blog. May have received a free review copy. **
