The Family Remains by Lisa Jewell
4.0
3.5⭐️ rounded up. Audiobook was cool because there were different voices for the main characters, but there are like 20 people you have to keep track of. I had to write down the list of characters, their relationships, and the plot points for the first 1/3 of the book before I felt confident enough to just listen and enjoy (after restarting once). Even then, I would need to refer back to names every so often. And the stupid dog…why was he mentioned so many times?! I kept getting him mixed up as a person since they kept referring to him by name.
The storyline was familiar to me, as I had read The Family Upstairs…but I didn’t put that together until I was almost finished reading. It might have been good to re-read that book before picking this up.
Overall, it was good and the writing kept me interested.
