I picked out this book because I was in love with the first paragraph, “I left my wedding dress hanging in a tree somewhere in North Dakota. I don’t know why that particular tree appealed to me. Perhaps it was because it looked as if it had given up and died years ago and was still standing because it didn’t know what else to do…”

Even though I was in the middle of three other books at the time, I immediately foresaked all other books. The book was soo good. Although it spins a tragic tale it does so in a funny, heartwarming way. The characters are quirky, and described in such detail that you feel like the characters are your next door neighbors.

But really this book really does make you feel like anybody can get a "do over" in life.
