The Nest de Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney
Family Drama
This one hit awfully close to home since I have a brother who is TOTALLY a Leo and it was both frustrating and fascinating to spend time inside the head of a person who is so completely self-centered. Without my own personal experience I'm not sure I would believe that Leo was as shallow and petty as he turns out to be but I know that people like him do exist.
It was also uncomfortable and all too familiar to see how the people in Leo's life came to terms with his behavior and their own feelings towards him. It's hard to admit that you are better off without a person who shares your blood but it sure can happen.
I found most of the Plumb children sympathetic despite their many poor decisions because for the most part they were motivated by the right things and I was glad to see how life turned out for most of them.
Not the funny book I expected but still a worthwhile trip.… (mais)

Intriguing characters, and reminds me of how This Is Us centers around one family but explores the lives of everyone who touches them. A slow and steady rebuilding of a family and many families inside that family.
A good evolution of relationships and friendships that included parenthood. Having it set in the theater and acting world made it interesting.
