Book: Back When We Were Grownup's

I read this book so quickly because it was so easy and interesting. There's nothing fancy about this book, it is such a great read because Anne Tyler is a fantastic story teller.

This is a story about a woman looking back on the choices she made in her life, not bad ones, just ones, like all of us.

I love the line in the book, where the title comes from. The main character, Rebecca, tells a friend that sometimes when she thinks about the past, she thinks to herself, "oh yes, that was back when we were grownups."

Do you ever feel that way?

Notice how similar both book covers are!

I also read Anne Tyler's Digging to America a few years ago. I thought it was an easy read, which was nice since I was reading it for a class.

I especially liked the few parts where the child offers her point of view. A couple characters annoyed me, which I guess means she wrote them well!

Digging to America is about two, very different, families who adopt girls from China. And the families actually become friends and their lives intertwine in ways you don't quite suspect.
