I liked it, but had a few annoyances that kept me from getting really into it. The word "husband" was overused so much that I was thoroughly sick of it by about 25% into the story, and started thinking it could make a drinking game or something. Also, Cory and Tara seemed to appear whenever it was convenient, but there was no explanation for times they weren't mentioned (for example, one morning while they're still around, Jerry wakes up early and thinks about how soon he expects David and William to wake up. No mention of Cory and Tara, who presumably were there, too, and who reappeared the next time they had some part to play).But I think the thing I had the most trouble with was the constant sense of antici... which never seemed to be followed by any ...pation. So many things were mentioned in a way that made me think they'd be significant later (like why the dog didn't follow William downstairs as usual one morning) but then there was no follow up. Or, if there was, there was no drama around the follow up. Which is fine, except that I kept expecting it. Perhaps the problem was just with my expectations. The blurb made me think there'd be drama, and there were a few times there started to be, but then it was always wrapped up so quickly and neatly it was a non-starter.Read this book for the sweet family life and follow up on beloved characters, and I'm sure it's a delightful story.
