2 posts | 1 read | 4 to read
A triumphant family story and sharply observed exploration of privilege, identity, and love in all its forms, following four estranged siblings whose lives collide in the lead-up to a family wedding, when new clues surface about their long-missing father Truly a great American novel that does the very best of what fiction can do: sink us into other peoples lives, show us new worlds, make our hearts pound and our breath catch. Superb. Julia Phillips April, May, June, and July Barber dont have much in common anymore. An upcoming family wedding will place the four siblings in the same room for the first time in years. But shortly before, when April spots their father, who went missing while serving overseas a decade ago, their reunion becomes entirely more complicated. While the siblings search for the truth about their father forces them back into each others lives, it also intensifies their private dramas. April loves her husband, but seeks excitement outside their marriage. May had big dreams for the future, but shes still stuck living at home. June is eager to marry her girlfriend, so why does she need a drink at every wedding-related event? And then theres baby brother July, whose unrequited love for his straight roommate has him more confused than ever. Confronting the past together, April, May, June, and July will find not only answers about their father, but new romance, hope, and understanding as they learn to embrace the beauty of their shared history.

Whenever there are several narrators in a book that we flip between, there's almost always one that I just don't have any interest in. Not the case here. I would have been happy to read this book in one sitting because I just was so captured by all the siblings! This is tough in places because each of the siblings is still trying to cope with the disappearance of their father but it's worth it.

A 6 hour drive to leave the pup with my daughter, another hour to the biggest airport by her, a 2+ hour flight, an hour and a half layover, and now a 7+ hour flight. This is my second book of all this travel and I expect to read all of it and hopefully another one too. Travel can be a gigantic pain but I sure do like the uninterrupted reading time.

Bookwomble 😮‍💨 I feel exhausted just reading your itinerary! Hope you get some quality book time in 😊 5mo
