This helped me figure out why I didn‘t love Evelyn Hugo. Evelyn's story lacked a certain control & an appealing aesthetic quality. Barone's prose here worked so well for this mini-epic. Cece and Sal, adopt Cheri, an infant who fills the hole made when they lost a son due to pregnancy complications. The following years display a turbulent relationship b/t parents & daughter as she recognizes how different she is, & they become more estranged 👇🏻
This is a moving story about families, how they begin and how they are defined. Really great story that comes full circle.
This book is breaking my heart. Where is the tissue box?
It's definitely Spring. The birds are chirping, the sun is shining, the wind is blowing, plants are thriving. Perfect day for a long walk and an audiobook.
Curled up by the fireside, coffee in hand, spending some quality time with @MrBook and family. 😊🔥☕️ #Thanksgiving
Can everyone in my office just shhhhh so I can listen?! #audible #happyfamily #earphones
Ben gay, Advil, a heating pad and this. Not quite what the doctor ordered, but just right for now.

"Books. Cats. Life is good."
"If you could pull back and up to see how it all connects to the ocean, if you could see the whole story of all of your parents and their parents, would it alter your memories of them? Would it change what you translate to your kids, what they then revise and tell their kids?"
Thoroughly enjoyed this novel about one woman and all the different types of families (birth family, foster family, adoptive family, secret family, extended family, marriage without children - does that count as family?). Plus, I love this cover 😀 Solid summer read!
Talking about a teen who gave a boy a BJ at his bar mitzvah ... "in about a minute, we've called this girl powerful ... A victim ... And a slut. ... Who knows what she would have been called in ancient Sumer? ...
A priestess."
Happy Family started out strong so when it became boring in the middle I was disappointed. I have too many other books I want to read. I couldn't stick it out.
Because cover!
So excited about this book mail. Comes out in May. Anyone else have this on their list?
