A review by shirleytupperfreeman
The Whole Thing Together by Ann Brashares

Fans of Brashare's Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants books will enjoy her latest though I didn't love it. The behavior of most of the adults in the story is too ridiculous for my taste. But the teenage and young adult love stories are sweet. Sometimes the complicated family life that ensues from these blended families sharing an ocean house (not simultaneously) makes the story hard to follow. Tragedy, love and redemption are all featured. I read the ARC to be published in April 2017.
