pickTwo couples, who have been friends since college, are trying to sort out their relationships now that they are approaching turning fifty. In the mean time their teenage kids are making the same mistakes they did when they were young.
Despite its ridiculous ugly cover and though it is at times irritating prudish, it was an amusing read to kick-off the year!
#ATY2020 - Title without an A, T or Y.
emilyhaldi Unfortunately for me this book was just irritating! Emma Straub's writing style induces major eye rolls for me 🙄 but I seem to be in the minority as most people love her! 4y
Liz_M Nicely done! I am reading the tagged book for this prompt (and another challenge) -- It feels like cheating. 🤓![[tagged book]](https://image.librarything.com/pics/litsy_webpics/icon_taggedBook@3x.png)

G.BarbaraBB @Liz_M Are you doing #ATY2020 too? In order? That would be great! @nomadreader does as well, we can compare notes 😀. Oh and I can‘t wait to hear what you think of G. I‘ve had it on my shelves for years and have never read or heard anything about it! 4y

BarbaraBB @emilyhaldi I know what you mean, I had that too (especially about the parents regarding their kids‘ relationship 😩) but I did like the plot and some things were in a way recognizable for me 👵🏼 (edited) 4y
nomadreader I liked this one when I read it a few years ago. Excited for her new one this spring! And congrats on knocking off read #1 for #AYT2020 4y
Hooked_on_books I love your little shelves! They‘re oddly mesmerizing. 4y
BarbaraBB Thanks! The lights are leftovers from Christmas 😉 4y
Reggie I hated the husband in this one, whata douche bag. I loved the kids‘ storyline in here. 4y
BarbaraBB @Reggie Yeah, that father and his yoga club! I enjoyed the kids sort too and felt the parents were so naive and hypocritical about it. And the police?!?! 4y
Cathythoughts That cover IS off putting... but I‘m going with your review 👍🏻stacked 4y
BarbaraBB @Cathythoughts If you ever read it, I‘ll be curious to know what you‘ll think of it! 4y
Liz_M I am a dilettante with challenges. That I am reading the appropriate book in the correct week for ATY is pure coincidence. 😁 4y
BarbaraBB @Liz_M Ah that‘s too bad. I am still curious about G though! 4y
