Welcome to Litsy!

While flying back home to Chicago, Kate has just found out her dad has killed himself. Her soon-to-be ex-husband wants nothing to do with her and she now has to go back to the city she grew up in so she can bury her father.

I really didn't like Kate. I found her to be entitled, spoiled, and unable to take responsibility for her actions. Ironically enough, Kate is a failed screenwriter and I feel like this book would actually make a better movie.

It has been way to long since I have seen these two... my heart is happy! #reunion #flyhighjuly @Eggs

#FlyHighJuly Day 20: My longtime friends and I (around 38 years of friendship thruout our elementary and high school years) had our Zoom #reunion today for a little over two hours across three different time zones: two are still in the Philippines, one is based in New Jersey, and me in UAE. We also have our teenage younglings with us.

1/3 😂😂😂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 🍻 #LitsyHumor 🍻

This was an ok book! It was quick. But I fell like it just stopped! I didn‘t get closure. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Think, This Is Where I Leave You with a little less humor plus a female voice and you have Reunion.

Pittard's writing is wonderfully emotional and truly takes the reader through the rollercoaster of emotions facing the narrator as she deals with death, divorce and debt.

This book made me anxious while reading...but in a good way, if that's possible. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Flying through the rom-com fam-drams this weekend and Reunion is another good one!

I've been reading in my favorite room (guest room) and favorite chair all day. The light in here is always perfect ✨

I won't be going on a vacation this summer but finishing this book on the roof on a darn near perfect Monday evening seems pretty good.

This is a good book with a quick pace. It moved me to tears (hit a liiiiitle close to home at moments). This is a dark book with some real joy in it? It's about suicide and family and the way we make lives for ourselves. I didn't love it but it got me thinking.

I'm listening to this audiobook randomly because I love the narrator so much. She read two of Taylor Jenkins Reid's books and is SO good.

Bedside view. The clutter kills me, but books don't make the shelf until they're read. It's my feeble attempt at keeping the TBR under control.

Thank you for prompting me to make this a must-stop destination in Chicago @Lola !!! It was one of the best burgers we have ever had - I mean, just look at that cheese! So sexy and dark in there too. Indulgent. Also, @mauveandrosysky posted about this book recently, and it is indeed easy, quick, and full of laugh out loud moments and some very real truths. 3 siblings reunite after their father's suicide. Reminds me of This Is Where I Leave You!

The plot isn't anything new, but Pittard's humor, wit, insight, and emotional honesty are enough to make this a dysfunctional family novel well worth reading. It's not always easy to make a deeply flawed character likable, but Kate Pulaski is one of my favorite first-person female narrators in a while. This is my second Pittard novel, and I'll officially read everything she ever writes.

This protagonist may be one of my favorites in recent memory. 😂

PREACH! 🙌🏻 Like I always say: Money may not buy happiness. But if I'm gonna be miserable, let me be miserable in a mansion overlooking the ocean. 💸

You guys, I love Hannah Pittard so much. I mean, this right here is my kind of humor. Sorry in advance if I post like a million quotes from this book. I'll try to practice some restraint, but I can't make any promises.

This is what my Friday night looks like and honestly I have no complaints whatsoever. 😎

Happy Friday to me! 🤗 Just got these lovelies. My TBR is seriously out of control right now.
