Why read it?

1 author picked Things Unsaid as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Things Unsaid provides the best reason why not everyone who marries should have children. Seriously, if you don’t like children, don’t have children! And yet, we can still be entertained by reading about those mothers who don’t deserve the title. Diana Y.

Best read with a red Zinfandel (Just to be clear…red, not white).
