Op dit moment geen Discussie gesprekken over dit boek. this was a warm hug in book form and i could not stop smiling while reading it. while this story does deal with some heavy topics, it did it in a way that made easy to read. it was a moving and bittersweet journey from start to finish. this book is a long journey out of the dark grip of grief, healing and eventual personal growth. the main character learns to face her fears so that she can be a better parent, sister, and friend. and she must first learn to care for herself, so that she can fully take charge of her life again. i thought the author did a great job of capturing lilian’s melancholy and vulnerabilities, while also accentuating her humor and wit. she was the perfect main character! i enjoyed getting to know her. this is just the type of all around inspirational feel good story people need sometimes. there is no absolute- 'and they all lived happily ever after'- conclusion exactly which for this book worked very well geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

HTML:??A quirky, funny, and deeply thoughtful book?* that??s ??filled with characters you??ll love and wish you lived next door to in real life?** from the author of The Bookish Life of Nina Hill. Lilian Girvan has been a single mother for three years??ever since her husband died in a car accident. One mental breakdown and some random suicidal thoughts later, she??s just starting to get the hang of this widow thing. She can now get her two girls to school, show up to work, and watch TV like a pro. The only problem is she??s becoming overwhelmed with being underwhelmed. At least her textbook illustrating job has some perks??like actually being called upon to draw whale genitalia. Oh, and there??s that vegetable-gardening class her boss signed her up for. Apparently, being the chosen illustrator for a series of boutique vegetable guides means getting your hands dirty, literally. Wallowing around in compost on a Saturday morning can??t be much worse than wallowing around in pajamas and self-pity. After recruiting her kids and insanely supportive sister to join her, Lilian shows up at the Los Angeles botanical garden feeling out of her element. But what she??ll soon discover??with the help of a patient instructor and a quirky group of gardeners??is that into every life a little sun must shine, whether you want it to or not...
