For Susie it was a fling that gave her troubled marriage a way forward.Now, sixteen years later, the family lives these women have made are suddenly upended when their teenage girls meet as strangers on social media. They concoct a plan to spend the summer in Maine with the man who is their biological father. Their determination puts them on a collision course with their mothers, who must finally meet and acknowledge their shared past and join forces as they risk losing their only daughters to a man they barely know.

Willows mamma, Rosie, är inte som andra mammor. Hon har kläder i regnbågens alla nyanser, ordnar storslagna middagar mitt i natten och skickar Willow till skolan täckt av färg. Rex, däremot, är den sortens pappa som hjälper till med läxorna, har regler om allt och aldrig skulle drömma om att hoppa i vattenpölar. Nu, när föräldrarna inte bor ihop längre, inser Willow att hennes mamma behöver henne mer än någonsin. Men Rosies rosaskimrande bild av världen kan kännas överväldigande - det är som om hennes värld snurrar allt snabbare, och att hon snart kommer flyga iväg och försvinna. Och vad skulle hända med Willow då? "En underbar debut /.../ Rekommenderas starkt!" Phaedra Patrick, Goodreads Det här var den mest trovärdiga och äkta bok jag hittills läst under 2017 // Jag skulle rekommendera Rosie Colored Glasses till varenda vuxen person som ber om boktips.
