Same As It Ever Was by Claire Lombardo
3.0

I have really been looking forward to this book as I enjoyed the author's debut book, The Most Fun We Ever Had. The sophomore effort was a bit of a disappointment for me however.

It is a family drama that involves marriage, motherhood, trauma, and a dysfunctional family. I found the MC, Julia, to be frustrating and unlikable. If ever there was a character that needed therapy and an antidepressant, she was it. The book was about 500 pages and definitely could have been shortened. This book is going to be highly unlikely to stick with me.

Thanks to NetGalley and Doubleday for the advanced digital copy of the book.
