pickFour siblings come together after some years estranged and a difficult past relationship with their mom. Each is at a crossroads of sorts and they are figuring things out between them after a prior fight. Somewhat predictable, but I enjoyed it as a lighter read.

pickI loved this book. Four siblings grow apart in adulthood after relying on each other due to mostly absent parents. This dysfunctional family tale is told with a light hand through each sibling‘s eyes and memories. My only quibble is I don‘t think the author stuck the landing with the last chapter, or it just didn‘t work for me 🤷🏻♀️ 4 🌟
