A Very Typical Family by Sierra Godfrey

Fun, easy to read novel. I was definitely keen to see where the plot would go. That being said, the book didn't seem to know exactly what it was, and ended up being sort of...nothing as a result. Sometimes, it felt like a thriller. Other times, it felt like a romance. I kept waiting for some moment where all the puzzle pieces would come together and fulfill the book's purpose, but the moment never came. Instead, all the conflict appeared out of nowhere, and disappeared just as quickly. It felt like the book's build-up was a slow-paced thriller, but the resolution was a happily-ever-after romance with no satisfying explanation for the mysteries and questions established earlier in the novel.  

Overall, it was interesting and fun, but too much was set up for not enough payoff to be a truly amazing read.
