Gotta love a book that quotes Jerry Seinfeld, "There's no such thing as fun for the whole family!"
This was a sweet family saga with surprising depth by the talented Jennifer E. Smith. I appreciated the family dynamics as each character had something to bring to the narrative. And while there were somewhat dubious details and the ending was a bit predictable, it didn't take away from the storyline. I really loved the way it was written from each sibling's perspective, both in the past and present - it made the story so compelling.
I do so enjoy reading stories about siblings from large families, as I often ponder my own children's relationship with each other in hopes that they will always remain close.
I'd recommend this book for fans of family dramas, sibling rivalry enthusiasts, and devotees of the Rashomon approach.
Many thanks to partners Penguin Random House and NetGalley for this gifted review e-copy!
