I was thinking about sisterhood of the traveling pants and went on a bit of an Ann Brashares spree. I liked this one about a modern family, which is complex and hard but still full of love.

I was not expecting to lose interest so fast in this title, but I couldn‘t connect with the characters and didn‘t feel they were well-developed, which is what I love about her other books. Disappointed.

I picked this book up from the library a few days ago and so far its a little confusing (maybe it's the third person pov) but I have high hopes.

I listened to The Whole Thing Together and really enjoyed the character development and the story. I had an idea of how I hoped it would end and the author really threw me for a loop. Not how I was hoping it would end, but still an enjoyable read (or in my case, listen).

“Quinn never tried to force a point. She just opened her hands and set it forth like a firefly. You caught it or you didn‘t."

Brashares' poetic style enchants, but the plot falls short. Two step children on two sides of a mixed family engage in a strange "will they?/ won't they?" and nine other indiscernible characters do things. Not for me. Instead, I'll steer my students towards Sisterhood and my friends towards The Last Summer. #YALit

I enjoyed this story of dysfunctional mixed and broken families. It has family secrets & feuds plus some emotional scenes. Themes of self-identity and seeing yourself as separate from your parents. Not the best book ever, but a 3.5 or so. The audiobook was nicely read by Brittany Pressley--again I'd give her performance a 3.5: decent characterizations and pleasing level of expression.

Mixed bag - I enjoyed the setting, family secrets, and a few of the characters. I struggled with the amount of characters (confusing!) and how, essentially, the book was about rich people behaving badly. It got old quickly. Frankly, I expected more from Brashares.

It's spring break which means entertaining my daughter and a friend with a trip to an indoor pool. I'm taking this free time seriously and reading the new Ann Brashares novel.
