Gail's Reviews > The Optimist's Guide to Letting Go

I LOVE a well-done family saga and Reichert's newest novel does not disappoint! I read this book—a story about mothers and their complicated relationships with their daughters and the family secrets that affect them all—the same month I welcomed my own daughter into the world, which made it more special. While it may have been the hormones, I'm going to attribute it more to Amy's wonderful writing that I found myself tearing up multiple times, but especially at its bittersweet ending.

Cannot wait to recommend this one to friends when it comes out. It would make a special read for women to buy their own moms for Mother's Day especially!
