Though I don't condone some of Margie's choices, there was much to like in See Mommy Run. Parts were sweet; others were sad. I found myself wanting to get back to reading when I wasn't, and a bit bummed when it was over - like good friends going away. Alas, all good books must come to an end.She didn't have her husband's support when it came to disciplining their teenage daughters. Instead he belittled her and undermined her authority in front of them. Feeling hopeless with her life in general, Marge thought the only way out of the situation was to run out. Though at first it was a bit frightening, she found her new-found freedom exhilarating and wasn't about to spend much time thinking about her family back home.Margie finds friends in her new roommate Ginger and Ginger's upstairs gay neighbors.  I liked them perhaps as much as she did. Her honesty with them was refreshing.It was apparent Margie hadn't completely thought out her decisions before making them and in some cases was living for the moment without any regard to consequences.Since the book ended rather abruptly, I'm wondering whether there will be a sequel.
