The Nest
The Nest | Cynthia D'Apriz Sweeney
A sharp, funny and deftly observed debut about a wonderfully dysfunctional New York family, The Plumbs, and the three grown-up siblings fighting to save the family money pot - the 'nest' - as their youngest brother threatens to lose it all. Perfect for fans of THE MIDDLESTEINS and THE VACATIONERS. When Leo Plumb drives off drunk from a party in a sports car with a nineteen-year-old waitress in tow, to the moral and legal fallout must be added the horrible inconvenience to his brother and sisters. Leo's rehab costs have severely depleted 'the nest' - the family's joint trust fund that would have cut them loose from their myriad financial issues. For Melody, a suburban wife and mother, it was to cover both an unwieldy mortgage and her daughters' college tuition. Antiques dealer Jack has secretly borrowed against the beach cottage he shares with his husband. And Beatrice, a once-promising short-story writer, is struggling to stay afloat as she attempts to finish her novel. Brought together as never before, the Plumb siblings must grapple with old resentments, present-day truths, and the significant emotional and financial toll of the accident, as well as finally acknowledging the choices they have made in their own lives. Ferociously astute, warm and funny, The Nest is a brilliant debut chronicling the hilarity and savagery of family life.

This ARC has been on my TBR shelf for years. It‘s a family drama about 4 siblings who have been waiting for the youngest of them to turn 40 so that they can receive their father‘s inheritance. As the date approaches they find their mother has given most of the money to one of the brothers to bail him out of a sticky situation caused by alcohol and poor decision making.

So much drama, but great flawed characters. I enjoyed this.

AmyG I enjoyed this one, too. But I love dysfunctional family dramas. 3mo
TheLudicReader This has been on my TBR shelf forever, too, but your positive thoughts make me want to get to it a little sooner. Maybe? Who the heck knows. 🤣 3mo

"As the rest of the guests wandered the deck of the beach club under an early-evening midsummer sky, taking pinched, appraising sips of their cocktails to gauge if the bartenders were using the top-shelf stuff and balancing tiny crab cakes on paper napkins while saying appropriate things about how they'd really lucked out with the weather because the humidity would be back tomorrow, or murmuring inappropriate things about the bride's snug satin↩️

peanutnine ...dress, wondering if the spilling cleavage was due to bad tailoring or poor taste (a look as their own daughters might say) or an unexpected weight gain, winking and making tired jokes about exchanging toasters for diapers, Leo Plumb left his cousin's wedding with one of the waitresses." 8mo

I‘ve seen mixed reviews for this one, but I really enjoyed it! Maybe it‘s because I‘m currently binging Succession 😂 The Plumb family is MUCH less toxic than the Roy family, though 😬 Another #dysfunctionalfamilyfiction win and it‘s my #TBRtarot choice for February (author‘s first name starts with C).

Amor4Libros I really liked this one, too! 😊 9mo

Cynthia D‘Aprix Sweeney excels at describing an upper-class family dynamic intensifying as four entitled brothers and sisters look to claim their rightful inheritance after their brother, Leo, throws their trust fund in jeopardy. Sweeney‘s attention to detail in creating the characters and their personalities is what I appreciated most; however, they were left with open storylines, leaving me wondering if the build-up was worth it.

I haven‘t been in for a while and it‘s because of this book. I started this at least 3 months ago and I couldn‘t get through it . But I was determined not to give up and to put it down. I‘m not a quitter. Wish it was better, characters were left with open story lines, but “oh well”. I can move on now. #donewithit #thenest

Do you remember sending me this book @Cinfhen ? I finally read it and it was great! It‘s about a bunch of fairly well off, dysfunctional siblings, waiting on an inheritance that most of them have a pressing need for due to bad financial and relationship decisions. There are a lot of other more likeable characters in here too which evens things out - almost an assemblage of individuals making decisions that either harm or help others. ⬇️

It was just so so for me. I think I‘m a fan of everything working out, but it just didn‘t nail that for me at the end. Yes, some things were for the better, but it didn‘t feel resolved. It wasn‘t a bail and I enjoyed the storytelling style. I also liked how it was all around this concept of the nest and how it effected the lives and futures of the characters, when it‘s intent was to do the opposite. I just didn‘t love the characters.

CarolynM I didn't like the characters either, but I think I enjoyed the story more because of that - I wasn't hoping for a happy ending for any of them. 3y
Cathythoughts I enjoyed the read. It kept me engaged 3y
SarahBookInterrupted @CarolynM and @Cathythoughts I was mixed with this book. It wasn‘t a bail because the story kept me engaged and the storyline was unique. I also like how it all was intertwined. I think I assumed that the characters would grow on me but they never did. 3y

I‘m fairly convinced that for the most part it does no child or adult any good to know they will be the recipient of significant inheritance. Well, this book, finally read, served to further confirm my opinion.

This one didn‘t quite grab me the way I hoped it would. Privileged New Yorkers find their modest family trust in peril, learn to live a little more in reality, but...do they really learn any life lessons? Maybe? Still recommended for the excellence of the writing. It was on my TBR list as one of @bookriot ‘s Best Books of 2016.

So, so good. This book is a perfect example of why you don‘t count your chickens before they hatch. I honestly wish this book was longer and I could have more insight into some of the characters. I really like how some of the story lines tied together in the end. I will say that the majority of the characters were whinny at some point, so I‘m using this for #wineorwhine for #booked2020. This is also my #doublespin. Two birds, one stone!

Cinfhen This book was surprisingly wonderful/ agree, the characters were whiny but they felt real to me!! I‘m interested to see what the author writes next!! 4y
Sresendez12 @Cinfhen me too! I was looking up the author I was reading and was slightly disappointed she didn‘t have more books. Can‘t wait for what‘s next! 4y

Loved this book from the first very long sentence to the last. This is the story of the Plumb adult siblings who are all in great need of the Nest left by their father available on the 40th birthday of the youngest child. Living in NYC is incredibly expensive and each of the 4 need the money desperately. Some great plot twists, great characters, I already miss them.

I enjoyed getting to know the characters in this book. The Plumb family is flawed and the knowledge of a possible inheritance when the youngest family member turns 40 taints their lives. I was not satisfied with the ending, it left me a bit disappointed. But this book is well written and the character development is impressive.
