Book #4 - Anna Quindlen’s Every Last One

I think I’ve discovered a new genre: Suburban-mom-meets-tragedy. Ever notice that there is a plethora of books that start off with nice, middle class moms (they’re always physically attractive) with two or three kids and either something from their semi-dark past reappears or a tragedy befalls them, forcing them to reassess everything? How is it that I keep picking these books up?

This novel fits perfectly in this genre. Nice mom, three kids, good husband, tragedy, aftermath, rebuilding, rays of hope, the end. It’s not that it’s poorly written or boring or anything like that; it just feels predictable.
