Nice novel about love and mysticism. Easy read.

The plot was never boring. The characters gracefully transitioned to different roles they had to play . Though there were parts that are redundant. Same course of event through the eyes of different characters. Between reading, I was close to throwing this book because the author has this queer habit of butchering my favorite characters. Near its ending, the story somehow mustered a little strength to redeem for the loss. **COMMENTS BELOW CONTAINED SPOILERS..READ AT YOUR OWN RISK**

Being a life-long Pittsburgher, I was excited about this book based in Pittsburgh. What a disappointment. It was boring, dull and predictable. At first, following the scenes of my hometown and the neighborhood I grew up in made it tolerable but that isn't good enough to carry a whole book and there was absolutely nothing else. 80-year-old Emily keeps herself busy by worrying about stupid mundane everyday things.The thought of spending time with her in real life would be tedious and exhausting. She gives old age a bad name that is down right embarrassing. I kept hoping for something of substance that never came. Sorry, Stewart O'Nan you won't catch me reading any of your other books.

This book was good but a lot of things made me feel like it could have been better. I really enjoyed reading it and I'm hoping that the second book will change my outlook on the first one. I love Wendy's character. She's headstrong, spoiled and has tantrums but she is extremely loyal to the people that she loves.
