A family drama, where the problems are much the same as most families, everyone has forgotten the core values, they insist on no phones around the dinner table to unite, yet each of them are completely in their own heads and desperate to get away. The parents are absorbed in work, the lack of work and a little stuck going through the motions with family basics. the kids need to talk and for a long time nobody is listening .

I enjoyed the story, I wanted the characters to overcome and I wanted a happy ending. However I found Bobby and Mimi massively unlikeable and wasn’t overcome by them. I did love the kids and other side characters though.

If you enjoy character centric novels this might be for you.

I’m always tempted by a good cover, I felt that this cover art really sold the book even before I’d read the blurb. A great story, the premise, plot and narration all worked well together and made the audio very enjoyable. I have recommended to the women in my book club. Only sad thei I listened to this on a super quick speed, promising to go back and listen at a slower speed at a later date
