I have chosen the next book I plan to review: Everyone is Beautiful: A Novel by Katherine Center. The book synopsis tells me it is about Lanie, a mother of three small boys who relocates from her native Houston, TX to Cambridge, MA for her husband's career. She leaves behind the family that lived just ten minutes away and upon whom she depended for help. Lanie's first day in Cambridge she runs into a woman with whom she attended high school back in Houston. While talking to her and a well-meaning stranger at the park, the stranger asks her when she is due with baby number four. Lanie is not pregnant. Embarrassed, she lies and confirms that she is expecting. She realizes how crazy she is to lie about the pregnancy. She decides she needs to make some changes in her own life. She needs her own life, not just the one that revolves around the kids and her husband. The story progresses from there.
I am also feeling the need to make some changes in my life. The past couple of years have been a huge struggle and that struggle has yet to end. Thus, the book choice. Here's hoping it is a nice read that does not disappoint.
