Many thanks to NetGalley, Ballantine Books, and Brady Hammes for the opportunity to read his debut fiction - 4 stars for this sibling dynamic story.
Three siblings - Gavin, Jonah and Samantha - are all talented in different ways and have been living very different lives. Gavin, a struggling actor, has been living in LA and working on a cable tv show that was just canceled. Jonah is working on his PhD thesis and studying elephants in the jungle of Gabon, and recently fell in with a bad crowd. Samantha was a rising ballet star until an injury got her hooked on opioids. She thought taking a job with a Russian ballet company would help her but it hasn't worked out. The three meet back in Chicago for Christmas with their parents and discover that they need each other to help solve their problems.
This story is told from the POV of each of the siblings, giving us background into how they got to their current situation. It was a great character novel - I would have loved an epilogue to know how it all turned out at the end!
