Nothing happens in this book. I appreciate a slow burn and that exploring the minutae of family life can be part of that, but for that to work the family life has to be interesting and at some point something has to actually happen. Which it did not. Nothing ever happens.

And the last hour of the audiobook was really weird and pointless - it was like in The Lord of the Rings film where everything was finished and then it rambled on for another 45 mins.

Did I mention that nothing happens?

This book was too long, too many characters, and frankly too boring to care about.
Premise was good - delivery was lacking.
I can't even bring myself to give a synopsis of the book because there was too much going on that didn't matter or bring anything to the story.
Even if you are a fan of Liane, I urge you to skip this one. not worth the time I gave this audio book.

I had a great time with this [audio]book! I found the story engaging and rich, and a lovely, intricate portrayal of family in challenging & ambiguous circumstances.
i thought it had a feel-good ending, i love the friendship that develops between Savannah and Joy, and I love that Savannahs horrible behavior is treated with such empathy.
