An enjoyable book about family and the love they have for each other even in their differences and at times dysfunction.

This book was funny with loveable characters and a very unique setting. There were probably too many characters though, I didn’t know who was who until I was well into the book.

Because this story is third person but follows many different characters within a chapter it took me a while to get into the story. Every time we switched the character we were following it would take me a while to recall who the character was, how they were related, and what storyline they had. And quite often tge characters name wouldn't be mentioned until the next page or so.

I think this would of read better for me if it was first person and each chapter focused on each pov. I enjoyed the story but didn't feel that invested in what was happening. For me, the story felt clunky.

This is the first of Moriarty's books that I've read, though I've seen some of the shows based off of her work. I enjoyed it. It was cute and had some strong, independent women that were quite entertaining to read about, especially the older generation. There was a theme of women discovering themselves at a later stage in life once the family matriarch had passed away.
