Description

The #1 New York Times bestselling author, whose books so many love, brings us a fresh, contemporary story of a woman and her unruly blended family

“Nobody writes women the way Jojo Moyes does.” —Jodi Picoult


Lila Kennedy has a lot on her plate. A broken marriage, two wayward daughters, a house that is falling apart, and an elderly stepfather who seems to have quietly moved in. Her career is in freefall and her love life is . . . complicated. So when her real dad—a man she has barely seen since he ran off to Hollywood thirty-five years ago—suddenly appears on her doorstep, it feels like the final straw. But it turns out even the family you thought you could never forgive might have something to teach you: about love, and what it actually means to be family.

  • Smart, Witty, and Relatable

    Jojo Moyes creates characters that are relatable, flawed, nuanced and, ultimately, beloved … I hated to say goodbye to them at the end. I’d quite like to ‘live here’ too.
  • Not her best work

    I have enjoyed Moyes’ previous books but this one left me flat. The main character spends most of the book behaving like a surly teenager. By the time she begins to act like a responsible adult, it’s too little too late. Don’t waste your money - read or reread one of the author’s earlier novels.
  • A Delightful Read!

    Jojo Moyes’ latest novel is a humorous look at the trials and tribulations of a unique, multigenerational family,as they attempt to to deal with the hands they’ve been dealt— by both the past and their own issues.
  • Hard to get through

    After devouring all of her previous books, I found this one too drawn out for no reason and hard to keep reading. Seemed to be channeling her own pressure to write another book into the storyline but it just wasn’t that interesting or believable for parts of it.
  • Refreshing

    I did not want this book to end! The characters were well developed as well as the plot and subplots. I fell in love with Lila and admired how she handled the rough choices she was forced to make. Very human emotions and situations.
  • Another brilliant read from Jojo Moses

    It has all the feels. A well balanced mix of relatable struggles and humor.
