I realty enjoyed spending time with the endicott family.
The flashbacks/split timeline worked well for me, especially with the multiple POVs, both tropes I really like.
I liked how the fight and thefire were revealed step by step.
The only thing that bugged me
was the fire. As far as ai know, that’s not realistic. You die from the smoke before you get major burns. Especially in a closed space like a car

This book is the perfect book for you if you like a character driven story. Ugh, I just loved spending my time with the Endicott family. The story follows four siblings as they get back together after a falling out. Gemma is the oldest who ended up mothering her siblings most of her life and is now struggling with her own fertility. Connor is the award winning novelist, whose book that mirrors growing up with his siblings tore the siblings apart. Then we have the twins Roddy, a professional soccer player who is trying to restart his career, and Jude, who is an Oscar nominated actress. The story is told through each different sibling's point of view as they come together in North Dakota to reconcile. What follows is chaotic and heartfelt, and all the secrets of being in the Endicott family are revealed as their relationships are tested as hijinks ensue. The reader also gets a glimpse into past road trips that the Endicotts took with their mother before the fateful night of the fire that changed everything.
I absolutely devoured this book. I love a character driven story, and I loved all the different points of view. I love how the author weaved all their stories together. It was a bit obvious how the ending was going to go down, but it still brought a tear to my eye and kept me up too late reading it. As a reader, I went through loving, hating, and appreciating each of the characters throughout the book, which is a credit to the author for creating characters who are so real and nuanced. I had such a good time with this family that I miss them now. Highly recommend if you enjoy a deep character study and family relationship and drama type books.
Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for an advanced copy of this book. All opinions within this review are my own.
