Green's books are known for being fun, light reads, but don't underestimate her ability to crush your heart.

By the time she reaches her 40s, she's a mother recovering from her addiction and trying to make amends for the things she did in her past — and that includes returning home to face her family. The story is full of moving moments of forgiveness and recovery that might just leave you reaching for the tissues.
