A delicious 😁 collection of essays about taking a fearless jump into defiance of “the norm.” Going AWOL on your diet for a day, looking up an old flame from years ago, embracing the blessings of getting older and more. What a treat! Berg always delivers!
And speaking of eating whatever we want...Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Feast with abandon!

Mehso-so

7/10 Decent read, not what I'd expected. Multiple short stories, each with different perspectives, characters, and story lines. Left feeling a little disappointed, wish the stories would have been slightly longer, as they almost felt unfinished, or that they would've tied in together at the end somehow.

I'm thinking instead of calling this book a collection of short stories, we could call it a fantasy. Lol. All kidding aside, I loved these stories. A couple of them brought tears to my eyes - especially "Mrs Ethel Menafee and Mrs Birdie Stolz" which was about best friends. A lovely little story.
