This was the perfect weekend read to really prepare me for family gatherings of the holiday season. The writing was so vivid and humorous that I felt as it I was part of the story and the characters were so real I felt like I was part of the family. If you like stories with the perfect blend of romance, family drama, and the curious interaction of family relations all coming together, than this is a book you don't want to miss. Susan Mallory is a new to me author, but I am happy that she has back catalogue so that I can read more by her soon.

i genuinely enjoy a good book with just slice of life themes as the plot, i also really love to read about flawed characters & flawed relationships. this book had all of that for me and it was executed well (although some things did feel a bit too plot convenient).
i really really loved the fact that each character had something they were dealing with and that didn’t feel super convenient to the plot or just so happen stance. genuinely the characters were the main reason i liked the book. there wasn’t a whole lot going on plot wise to really really grab your attention but it was nice to read.
i received the arc as an audiobook and i think that that is the main reason why i liked it, i genuinely feel like if i had the e-book or physical copy i wouldn’t have enjoyed it as much.
there was something i didn’t really like about the book and that was the sudden resolution of everything at the end, like realistically all these big great things are not happening all at the same time be for real. also i feel like the daughter getting engaged to her ex was just so random i genuinely had to make sure that i heard correctly, like why not just make them reconnect and date first to make sure.
