Many thanks to NetGalley and Penguin Group Viking Pamela Dorman Books for gifting me a digital ARC of the latest novel by Jojo Moyes. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 4.5 stars rounded up!
Lila has a lot going on. Her ex-husband is having a baby with the woman he left her for and she has to see her every day at school pickup. Her mother passed away and her stepfather has basically moved in with her and her two daughters, in a house that is becoming a money pit. She has writer's block for her new book, and then her biological dad turns back up.
As with all Moyes' books, this one will tug at your heartstrings. I love a good family drama and this book's many characters and their emotions felt real and relatable, These characters are dealing with a lot - grief, loss, uncertainty - but there are so many lighthearted, humorous moments along the way. It explores real family - those related to us and not - with all the ups and downs involved. I was always anxious to get back to this family and I already miss these characters, especially Gene who was such a hoot and was trying so hard to be better. A must read!
