With her free-spirited daughter away at college and her "hip" ex-husband living across the country, Charlotte has grown used to being alone. For the most part, she prefers it. She relies on familiar routines: manicures, grocery shopping, game shows. But at night, no matter how hard she tries (and in spite of the Dream Machine her daughter Emily sent her) she can't stop her logical mind from running wild — imagining burglars, strange noises, and all manner of trouble that might befall her fearless daughter.
Having just graduated from Wesleyan with a pierced tongue and an arsenal of opinions, Emily has always been passionate about her beliefs — from mindfulness to vegetarianism to her new live-in boyfriend. Though Charlotte rarely understands her, she's learned to keep her doubts to herself. But when Emily and the new boyfriend arrive for a weekend visit, secrets are revealed that compel Charlotte to take a stand. Forced to examine her own life choices, she's about to learn she can't control everything. What she can do is open her heart to new possibilities, and to the fact that headstrong Emily might have a thing or two to teach them all.

The Hazards of Sleeping Alone
I have no idea why -- I think it was the writing that appealed to me the most -- but I really liked this book. And maybe it struck a little close to home too. I was happy to finally read a mother/daughter book from the mother's perspective. This book might have been a lot less appealing before I had kids of my own -- not sure. All I know is that reading is different for me now.
After reading some reviews of this book it made me think about how we read -- how we approach books, their material and the writing. It seems that people need to wear different kinds of "reading hats" when they approach different kinds of books. You can't read Dickens the same way you read Pynchon. I find that some people don't allow "room" in their heads to branch out and enjoy other types of writing...
