The Most Fun We Ever Had by Claire Lombardo
5.0
I love a grand family drama which is definitely what this was. And as absurd as it sounds, it is a family that I easily pictured myself being a part of. It demonstrated wholeheartedly that life begins and ends with family. That regardless of the circumstances in which any of us are raised we're all as damaged as the next person, but if you have love and forgiveness then you're likely to have contentment within yourself. If anything, this is what I take away from this beautiful book: we all choose our outlook and we all choose how we conduct our relationships with those closest to us, so choose your words wisely and always act with empathy.
I found this book such a pleasure to read. For such a hefty book reading it didn't feel like a chore, instead it flowed so smoothly and easily for me. Unsure whether it is because I drew certain comparisons with my own family, but this tale made me feel safe and warm (regardless of the many terrible, but relatable events that occurred.)
