I saw a comment that I don't fully agree with but hints at how I feel about this book and others like it. The statement was that there wasn't really a plot, but it is a story you read not for a plot. I understand their point but need to fine tune it for me. I do think it has a plot and it is more subtle than many. Maybe a midlife coming-of-age, if that is even a thing. Maybe even that being content isn't enough. Whatever broad stroke you want to use, it is a woman making change as a way to make something happen, with unexpected consequences both good and bad, though ultimately good. The point for me, though, is that I didn't need a complex plot to enjoy reading the book. There is enough of a plot to tie the scenes together into a coherent whole, even if I probably remember it almost like a collection of connected stories, or maybe vignettes.
Lovely insights into human behavior and the dynamics between people seeking their own happiness. Quirky characters who range from cringeworthy to sweet. And humor to keep everything fun and moving along. I don't know what to say beyond it was actually enjoyable to read, which is sometimes plenty.
