review 1: I feel like I just read this book--it's a lot like The Weird Sisters, only compressed into a weekend instead of drawn out over a couple months. I think it might work well as a movie, because of the background settings and the compressed time period. But as a book, it was meh. The writing is fine and the characters are fine, if a little dumb. It's one of those stories where we see conflict through characters from all of their perspectives and then in the end, the secrets come out and everybody sees everybody else's point of view. Feels a bit formulaic and tired.
review 2: This book is about family, which is pretty clear from both the back of the book and the first few chapters. All the characters are pretty annoying in their own way, which actually makes me appr... moreeciate my own family more. The only one that I may have mildly liked didn't get his own chapters, which I thought would serve some literary purpose but in the end maybe he was the least dysfunctional person and so didn't have any weird or riveting thoughts to share with us. less
