This Is Your Life, Harriet Chance!: A Novel

Harriet Chance impulsively sets sail on an ill-conceived Alaskan cruise that her late husband had planned. But what she hoped would be a voyage leading to a new lease on life becomes a surprising and revelatory journey into her past. Part dysfunctional love story, part poignant exploration of the mother-daughter relationship, nothing is what it seems in this tale of acceptance, reexamination, and forgiveness.

Sorely disappointing. I should have known, when by page 28 there'd already been two lazy editorial errors (was the main character born on Nov 4 or Nov 6? Is it now 2014 or 2015?). I stuck with it, hoping to just enjoy the story and ignore the poor editing. However, when I finished it, I felt like it didn't actually end. Not that I wanted more; but, I would like to know what happened to the character. Did she die? So weird. Not impressed at all.

The game show parody worked more than I expected it would, but I just couldn't get very invested in the story and didn't find myself caring very much about the characters. The dead husband's ghostly visits detracted much more than they added.
