I enjoyed this humorous, touching and modern view on family relationships. Graham is on his second marriage to the vibrant, talkative, hyper-social and younger Audra. They have a son with Asperger's syndrome and his ex-wife, the cool, perfect Elspeth re-enters their life through Audra's efforts at moving forward. Dealing with their son's challenges and their own quirks of personality makes for a light story that was fun to read. But what's with the characters' names?
Quotes:
"Bad deeds--even anonymous bad deeds--came home to roost eventually in the form of a speeding ticket or a court summons, but anonymous good deeds generally went unacknowledged forever."
[on starting over] "It would be ...frustrating to start all over again. It would be like finding your own footprints while lost in the jungle and realizing you had been walking in circles."
