Listened to the audiobook while doing other tasks, and it felt like listening to the novel version of a TV show. Enjoyable, but probably wouldn’t have stuck it out if I was reading the physical book.
Families are hard work but they're also the best thing that's ever happened to us. No matter what kind of family you come from, traditional or not, this is a book that will make you laugh and will make think.
It's very long, with so many POV switches (often in the same scene) you can't be blamed for getting confused. And the interruptions, pauses, hems and haws that all the characters do in conversation can get a bit maddening, and yet – and yet, I loved this intergenerational saga of four daughters and their still-crazy-about-each other-after-all-these-years parents. Ideal for fans who plowed through Little Fires Everywhere and need another fix of a story with honest, flawed, loving humans interacting with each other. Not a stereotype in the bunch.
