Set in northern Michigan in the same area my parents had a cottage and so I was flooded with memories of Traverse City and Leelenaw Peninsula and the dunes and cherries. Maybe because of that, I was extra aware of how much their dysfunctional families were completely unlike mine and how much I couldn’t relate to how they respond to that in their adult lives. But also featuring a children’s librarian, so lots to offer! Not enough Cherry Festival!!! And weirdly ZERO Interlochen, which is a big omission.
