A Very Typical Family
by Sierra Godfrey
WOW - that is all I can say to express my surprise at how good this book was!
A Very Typical Family by Sierra Godfrey manages to hit every mark of a good book: family ties, drama, personal development, infuriating characters, endearing characters, female empowerment, passion, and romance.
The main character - Natalie -is tossed between the past and her present as her life begins to change. Her boyfriend is dominating and condescending, believing he can do no wrong. I found myself so angry with him, which shows how effective Godfrey is in writing her characters. I felt connected to Natalie as she navigated forgiving herself, reconnecting with family, grieving loss, and looking for a different future. I realized how much I wanted her to make certain choices, engage with certain people, and stand up for herself.
The plot is so intricate and beautifully written. It is entertaining in the way that makes the reader feel like they are living in the moment. It is the type of book that makes you think about what you would do in a situation, what words you would say to another, or how you would feel about the circumstances. It is so realistic in this way that I just couldn't get enough.
I have recommended this book to so many different people. It is truly for any and all readers as it piques the interest of mystery, drama, valued living, realistic plot, curiosity, friendship, and love interest. I love the connections that are made between people and the separation between past mistakes and future hopes.
I highly suggest this book for any time of the year, for any mood, and for a general good read!
