So disappointing! The storyline never formed into anything interesting. I kept reading and thinking something interesting was going to change the direction. But like the nondescript, easy to get lost and lackluster neighborhood the charters live in, the story causes the same lost, lack of interest and energy for the reader.

Meh

Although not my favorite of Hoffman’s , certainly up there with the good books in my library. One reviewer said there was no plot but I find that to be the beauty in her books. She is a scholar of human nature and behavior. This book is full of interesting and quirky people and every day life. It’s a fast read mostly because you won’t want to stop 😊

Hoffmans books are always well written, nothing eloquent but an easy read. Searching for a better life and knowing what she wants, Nora moves into a neighborhood where everybody is struggling for the meaning of life or the meaning of their lives.

I kept waiting for an actual plot to appear. It never did.
