Summary
A woman drops everything to spend more time with her grandchild, only to discover new truths about herself. A humorous, heartfelt, feel-good novel from the author of Crazy to Leave You.
For Jodi Wexler, a Florida doctor with a flourishing practice, only one thing’s missing: the chance to spend more time getting to know her eight-year-old granddaughter, Macallan.
When Jodi’s restauranteur daughter asks her to watch Macallan in the Berkshires while she takes care of some business out of town, Jodi can’t say yes fast enough. Neither Jodi’s podiatric patients nor her just-fired, suddenly retired husband can keep her away. But when Jodi arrives, she discovers she’s not the only grandma at Lisa’s house. Lisa’s mother-in-law, Di—a hard-nosed real estate agent—has moved into the house. What’s more, there’s Grannie Annie, the twenty-seven-year-old girlfriend of Lisa’s oddball father-in-law. They’re not the only surprises. Lisa’s marriage is faltering even as her new restaurant is taking off.
As the competition for Macallan’s attention among the three “grandmas” increases, Lisa drops a bomb about her life that changes everything. Under pressure, and determined to help her daughter, Jodi must choose her next step. Her decision surprises everyone—Jodi, most of all.
Critic reviews
“I adored this book! Funny tears. Happy tears. Family dynamics on steroids. Marilyn Simon Rothstein brings all the feels in this warm, wise, and at times, laugh-out-loud funny Gram-com, courtesy of a brilliant cast of women, all struggling to ‘come of age’ in their own unique ways. Rothstein’s ability to infuse messy real-world situations with humor is an absolute gift, and Who Loves You Best is her best work yet. Utterly delightful!” —Barbara Davis, bestselling author of The Keeper of Happy Endings and The Echo of Old Books
“Nobody conveys the heart, the dysfunction, and the humor of family life like Marilyn Simon Rothstein. Who Loves You Best is a smart, hilarious novel with a charming New England setting, a narrator you’ll never forget, and an ending so pitch-perfect, it will have you cheering along.” —Amy Poeppel, bestselling author of The Sweet Spot
“Marilyn Simon Rothstein is back with her trademark wit and humor in Who Loves You Best, a fun, fast read about family dynamics, marriage, and ‘grandma-hood.’ I found the story a true delight. Laughter guaranteed!” —Kerry Lonsdale, Wall Street Journal bestselling author of Find Me in California
