Kevin Wilson is hit-or-miss for me but this was a hit. I really liked the premise, found the characters to be quirky and loveable and just enjoyed the funny stuff that happened along the way.

I really enjoy Wilson‘s writing & was excited this was one of the options for the #BiteSizedBooks portion of the #GoodreadsChallenge! This quick family drama starts with Mad in TN, who is shocked to have a half-brother show up in a PT Cruiser—& news that their dad has more children & is in CA. A sibling road trip ensues with the climax proving that it‘s not so much the destination as the journey. Funny moments, big secrets & room to define family!

This book was as beautiful as its book jacket. The process of nature's cycles and the imperfections of our lives combine for an engaging look at the human condition: mistakes-suffering-forgiveness and the gentle art of always moving forward. Sometimes that means reconciling with the unresolved…

Loved hearing Wilson speak, then meeting him afterward, recently in Nashville! He‘s so funny, quirky, and sweet. This was not my fave of his, but still enjoyable.

My favorite characters are bringing home a baby girl. How will Little Critter handle it?

I hadn't read Wilson before and this was quieter than I was expecting. Quietly amusing, quietly revealing, quietly affecting. Perhaps a bit thinner than it could be, but I quietly enjoyed it.

There is nature vs. nurture, and then there are the things that shape us because we don‘t have them. For the.Hills children, that absence is their father and when they go on a cross-country road trip to meet each other and confront him, they realize what it means to be family and what home truly is. I absolutely loved this. Each character felt so real and distinct. I was happy to be along for the ride on this adventure.
