Family Happiness by Laurie Colwin
5.0
How much I liked this kind of sneaked up me. I picked this up from the library knowing nothing about it other than it had a very strong recommendation from a friend that I don't even have super similar reading taste as. I blew through in a few days, a record considering I was starting to wonder if I'd forgotten how to read during quarantine.
I was immediately sucked into the 1980s Manhattan world of Polly and her garbage rich asshole family--it had almost a fantasy aspect to it but I can't tell if that's just because the 80s seem so distant and rich idiots seem so much like Not Real People. I love the descriptions of the characters so, so much and this made me want to read every single thing Laurie Colwin ever wrote.
