A Publishers Weekly and USA Today Bestseller!
From the New York Times bestselling author of Good Luck with That comes a new novel about a blue-blood grandmother and her black-sheep granddaughter who discover they are truly two sides of the same coin.
Emma London never thought she had anything in common with her grandmother Genevieve London. The regal old woman came from wealthy and bluest-blood New England stock, but that didn't protect her from life's cruelest blows: the disappearance of Genevieve's young son, followed by the premature death of her husband. But Genevieve rose from those ashes of grief and built a fashion empire that was respected the world over, even when it meant neglecting her other son.
When Emma's own mother died, her father abandoned her on his mother's doorstep. Genevieve took Emma in and reluctantly raised her--until Emma got pregnant her senior year of high school. Genevieve kicked her out with nothing but the clothes on her back...but Emma took with her the most important London possession: the strength not just to survive but to thrive. And indeed, Emma has built a wonderful life for herself and her teenage daughter, Riley.
So what is Emma to do when Genevieve does the one thing Emma never expected of her and, after not speaking to her for nearly two decades, calls and asks for help?
Emotional, realistic journey! I’m sitting here at 3:57 am with tears running down my face trying to figure out what to put in my review to convey my feelings. For me, if a writer can bring me to true tears, it’s a sign of a fantastic book. I loved this book! It takes the reader through every gamut of emotion. I felt sympathy for the young girl (Emma) who lost her mother & then was dumped on a stern grandmother by her immature father. I admired the mother Emma became for for sticking to her principles instead of doing the “easy” thing. Genevieve is the one I couldn’t put a lock on. I admired her courage in going on after losing one son & her husband. I sympathized with her grief but yet was appalled by her treatment of Clark & Emma. These characters were all so well developed, it felt like I was living their story along with them. The descriptions & dialogue bring you right into the scenes with them. I had planned to start reading this book as soon as I received it but decided to hold off until the weekend. I wanted to be able to lose myself in it. Once I opened the cover, I didn’t put the book down until I was finished. I’ve read everything Ms. Higgins has published & this isn’t one of her typical romances but it’s so much more! I don’t feel that I’ve done this book justice but suffice it to say, I loved it & in a week or two will be rereading it to capture anything I missed the first time.A Powerful Lesson in Parenthood, Sacrifice and Forgiveness... Emma London has worked hard to build a life for her and her young daughter. Even though she’s done a pretty good job, it’s still far from how she grew up.As the granddaughter of the famous Genevieve London of Genevieve London Designs, her future should have been assured. Instead, she was left devastated by her mother’s death, deserted by an uncaring father and then finally tossed aside as a pregnant teen.Now after all of these years, Genevieve has the audacity to reach out for a favor. She wants Emma and Riley to live with her during her final days. But what she doesn’t know is that it’s really a chance for her to come to terms with past – once and for all.In Life and Other Inconveniences, Kristan masterfully navigates the complex subjects of parenthood, sacrifice and forgiveness. Each of her characters come alive in all of their glorious imperfection and somehow still find their way into your heart.It’s in the way that Genevieve discovers her true capacity to love. It’s in the way that Miller fights so hard for Tess and it’s in the way that Emma will do absolutely anything for Riley.You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and you’ll savor every emotion that you will experience while reading this book. And you’ll find that love - in all of its heartbreaking forms - is well worth the fight…I miss the old "Kristan Higgins"! First of all, I LOVE Higgins. She is my favorite author. I've re-read all of her books 2-3x..... Sadly, I will not read this again. It was serious & depressing. I never felt good while reading it. I closed the book with a depressed/hungover feeling of dread. I've come to rely on her aloof, silly scenarios that she gives her characters, lol reads, and happy endings. That's why she's my favorite. This was nothing like that. Her writing has changed. I guess she is trying on new shoes and going in a different direction... but I wish she would come back to her original style. Sad face...
