For Jodi Wexler, a Florida doctor with a flourishing practice, only one thing’s missing: the chance to be with her eight-year-old granddaughter, Macallan.

When Jodi’s restaurateur 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.

Review for Who Loves You Best

These characters are …characters. From Di’s bigger than life persona to Grannie Annie’s lopsided love affair, there’s always some kind of interference ruining Jodi’s time with her granddaughter. The writing is serious yet delivered in a humorous way. There’s alot of details about everything, some could be done without to make it flow a little faster. Overall, it’s a fun read with a big twist within all the other twists poor Jodi has to deal with.
