Definitely different from the usual books I read. Do bears sh!t in the woods? Edie blames her ex mother in law for an accident 10 years before. So when Anna dies and leaves her villa in Sicily, Italy to Edie and her ex-husband Joe, she suspects that this is Anna's way of trying to reunite them. We also have two dogs, Lil and Lola. Who are the girls beside Anna in her childhood photos, and why has one of them been scratched out?
