The book seemed like a nonstop narration about, well, nothing. I usually love Anne Tyler’s characters but I found no one very interesting, complex or likable. I totally disconnected from Mercy when she took the cat to the pound (and I’m no cat person). I thought this might reveal something deep about her persona but nothing ever became of it and I found myself resenting her. Everyone else in the book was forgettable. Disappointed in the book but I forgive you Anne Tyler. You’re still a great author!!!
