Many thanks to NetGalley and Random House | The Dial Press for gifting me a digital ARC of the latest book by Allegra Goodman. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 4.5 stars rounded up!
When their beloved sister passes away, Sylvia and Helen are unmoored. But then a misunderstanding about apple cake turns into a decade of them not speaking. Busy with their own lives, their children try not to get involved.
I am a huge fan of generational family drama stories and this one was infused with the perfect amount of humor, mess, and of course love. We first hear from Jeanne as she is dying, but then the story is passed down and told from the perspective of a multitude of family members, We hear about the simple things in life and those more complicated and painful as well. It's all so very relatable, making you think about the special bond of family, leaving you with a smile and a reminder to call your sister, if you have one.
