review 1: Kate is on a plane stuck on the tarmac when she gets a message from her brother- "dad is dead." As soon as she arrives home her soon-to-be ex-husband finds her at the airport to make sure she boards a plane to Atlanta to meet her siblings, Nell and Elliot. This short novel was very enjoyable. Despite their shortcomings, all of the characters from her brother and sister to her fathers last wife and 6 year-old half sister are all endearing and lovable. Hannah Pittard's writing style reminds me a lot of Jonathan Trooper. Her characters are very far from perfect but are still captivating. I would have liked this book to be a little longer so we could explore more of Kate's psyche, but I still enjoyed the story as is. Overall, good read 4/5 stars.
review 2: This sho... morert little gem of a novel took me part of a night and some an afternoon to finish. The main character's father has just passed away (by suicide) and she and her two siblings are going to meet to settle things. Their father is a rather unlikable man with a parade of ex wives and a history of infidelity. Our main character and her two siblings take a firm belief against any sort of infidelity in their lives. But each of these siblings is harboring some sort of secret, and by the end of the weekend, all will be sorted out. This story did a wonderful job of moving along while keeping my interest, and developed the characters enough to have me care about them. Even the side characters, such as Joyce, were colorful and fun to read about. This was definitely one of the better books I have read this year! less
