2019 book 100

Claire Lombardo's The Most Fun We Ever Had
Lombardo's debut novel focuses on a family in 2016--four adult daughters, each with their own issues, and parents still deeply in love with each other--that's upended when the secret son one of the girls had as a teen resurfaces. The story flashes back and forth in time--the parents getting together in the 70s, the tumultuous childhoods and teen years of the girls, their adulthoods, etc--to tell a really interesting story about family dynamics. I was mad every time I had to stop reading this because I was enjoying it so much! I think I wanted a little bit more from the end but really, I thought overall this was great. A/A-.
