A Friend of the Family by Lauren Grodstein

4.0

I love books that are about someone's seemingly perfect life getting shattered by a few bad decisions--and this book definitely falls into that category. It's a quick, relatively easy and entertaining read, and I was fairly sympathetic to just about all the characters, which is no small trick by Grodstein as some of the characters do behave in pretty appalling ways. I probably would have given this five stars if the ending hadn't felt quite so rushed.
