I love Amanda Prowse's books! This is my sixth book by the author and everyone was a four or five star read. All Good This is no exception, I adored this book and the two families in it. The mix of characters was realistic and relatable...There were some I loved and some I loved to hate. This is a book about the haves and the have-nots and questions the old adage...Is the grass really greener on the other side of the fence?

I love stories about dysfunctional families, especially one that isn't my own! This book is about how all hell breaks loose one evening and what the repercussions are for each member of the two families, following the incidents. I liked how each chapter is from a different character's point of view. Because there are so many people in the two families the story is about this was a great way to get inside each character's head and know their thoughts and feelings about everything that is going on.

There are a lot of heavy topics throughout the chapters. Teenage drinking, divorce, familial expectations, mental health issues, bankruptcy, marital affairs and LGBTIQA to name but a few. Amanda Prowse deals with these issues in a realistic way while remaining sensitive to them. I really appreciate and respect that. I can say enough about this wonderful family tale except to end with...All. The. Stars.
