The Antiques by Kris D'Agostino

3.0

Funny, they say this novel is fast paced. And in some ways I suppose it is, but only because it takes place over the course of a week. And a LOT happens in that week! But the pace of the story itself doesn't seem fast paced. We have Charlie on the west coast. She has a son with some type of undisclosed/undiagnosed disability and a husband who just doesn't do a good job of dealing with it. We have Josef who is the caricature of a sex addict and a blowhard business man always eager for the quick score. And finally Armie who lives in his parent's basement making furniture and pining after the girl he took to senior ball. Their father passes away and they all come home to help their mother deal with the death. In the meantime they are also dealing with all their own issues and the fall out of a storm. A good read.
