The Whole Thing Together by Ann Brashares
4.0
3.5 stars.
I mostly enjoyed this, it was nice to step back into Ann Brashares' writing, all these years after the Sisterhood ended.
Vague spoilers ahead:
But I didn't really connect with some of the characters (i.e. Ray) and found some of the story a tad convoluted. And I really wasn't a fan of the Ray/Sasha "romance" if you can call it that.
The good: I loved the siblings' relationships with eachother and I especially loved Quinn and Mattie. I loved the weird relationship between Mattie and Matt, and wish there was more after the hailstorm night with the blueberries (I was sobbing).
I saw the Mattie twist coming a mile off, and the Quinn twist was just upsetting, but I guess it made the rest of the book happen.
I did enjoy this, but I think I would have liked it better with no Ray/Sasha romance (CAN'T THEY JUST BE FRIENDS?) and a bit more on Matt & Mattie, because that girl deserves to be happy too.
