Really mixed feelings about this one… I did mostly love the writing and the sibling dynamics, so those made this read enjoyable. However, I had two bigger problems with it as well: first was the plot, which was really weirdly paced and yet somehow (or actually because of it) quite predictable. Adding the nine night to get the mothers together was not really necessary, it just confused me as to how thirty years later these women still get so emotional over a man who seemed to have not much more going for him than a bit of charm that fizzled out long ago. Second is the perspective: out of the five siblings, the main character was by far the least interesting one and she really got on my nerves after a while. The bad decisions, naïveté and her oversensitivity were so excessive they made me wish I was getting to know this family through ANY other character (it was overdone too, I mean she was already like this as a baby?? Come ON)

Very funny. As an only child who grew up with a somewhat absent father, and knowing the secondhand experience my friends had of being one of many children, this hit home. The book is very real in many ways.

Dimple going off on Lizzie, then the next day everyone continuing on like nothing had happened. I imagine that's what it was like after I'd left my friend's houses.

There's something about it I can't explain that I really connected to. Overall, though, the message about family hit my soft spot.
