A review by mjatuw
A Friend of the Family by Lauren Grodstein

3.0

I liked this book but didn't like it ... well-written and I appreciated the backwards-telling of the story. But it was disturbing (teenager killing her baby, friendships disintegrating, parenting that was just too much) so it wasn't an enjoyable read.

Suburban reflection was particularly good. and the complexities of intimate female friends who are not lovers but one might wish they were....
