so-soWhile I am the target audience for a Kevin Wilson book, I‘m definitely not the target audience for any book involving estranged families coming together. This was that and it was okay and sometimes good and then it ended too abruptly.

so-soThis book had a lot of hype; while it was good, it wasn't amazing to me. Sort of funny, a bit heartwarming, but likely not one that will stick with me. There were a lot of questionable characters especially Tom's mother.
pickWhy there is a book about this is beyond me, but here it is. Two #ISpyBingoJune spots @TheAromaofBooks
panWell shoot,I really liked Wilson‘s previous books and loved the idea of half siblings were complete strangers embarking on a a road trip to find the father who abandoned them all. The problem is that there seemed to be only the idea of a story here. The characters were one dimensional, the journey itself was kind of boring, and the ending was so unsatisfying. Happy others seem to be enjoying it but I didn‘t like this one at all.
This morning, a good friend gave me this cute pillow just because. 🩷
June's #WeeklyFavorites, at long last. Traveling threw me off, and I didn't finish any books between the 7th and 14th, so here's a cardinal for that spot. I think my favorite of these was the tagged.

so-soAre we completely sure this was written by Kevin Wilson? It lacks the humor and the wittiness and weirdness we know him for. It really doesn‘t feel like him at all. But maybe he was trying something different?
I did enjoy it, I thought it was an interesting story. It just wasn‘t what I expected at all. And the ending felt abrupt, like the book was unfinished.
Oh well, hopefully he‘ll return to his old style with the next book.
panThis was so disappointing. A bunch of siblings goes on a roadtrip in search of their father, who left them all with a different mother. The characters aren‘t worked out at all, nor is the father or are his reasons for leaving them all. Nor, for that matter, is the roadtrip across the US.
Kevin Wilson did much better in Nothing to See Here.
