This book has been on my radar for a while, but when it had a great sales price, I had to get it. Well I'm so glad that I finally got this one downloaded to my Kindle, as it was an absolute joy to read; it had so many laugh out loud, witty moments that I found myself smiling through much of this read. There were also some serious issues discussed in this read, and in my humble opinion, it can be difficult to find the right balance of humor and covering serious topics, as you don't want the handling of sensitive issues to come across as seeming trivial. I felt that the author did a good job with that task; however, I did feel that the ending was a bit rushed, as so much needed to be addressed before the ending. I really just enjoyed it so much, that I wasn't ready for it to end.There were so many things that I loved about this story, but who I loved the most was Richard Randy! What a sweetheart; he was so precious with Marley and so in tuned to her needs and emotions, that you couldn't help but to be touched by that. Marley, for the most part is a likable, quirky character that brought a lot of humor and a lighthearted nature to the story. The reader get glimpses throughout the story, that she is dealing with some serious issues, that aren't completely brought to light until close to the end of the story. Her struggles helped me understand some of her conflicting behavior, even when it would frustrate me . All in all, that all lead to the angst and progression of the story. The supporting characters were fun, and I'm excited to read that Mom will have the next adventure in this series. Looking forward to more from this author.
