Customer Review
- Reviewed in Canada on July 12, 2025This beautifully written novel centers around the four adult children of Vic Kemp, who recently passed away after a brief marriage to a much younger woman. His sudden death raises suspicions, especially as the family navigates grief, inheritance, and old wounds that never quite healed.
The characters—Netta, Susan, Iris, and Goose—are all deeply flawed yet incredibly relatable. Their stories unfold with emotional honesty, and I found myself completely drawn into their world. The author does a remarkable job exploring family dynamics with depth and nuance.
I loved how the story embraced the messiness of real life—this family may be more dysfunctional than most, but their relationships felt authentic. It reminded me of novels by Ann Napolitano or Jean Hanff Korelitz, both in tone and character complexity.
If you enjoy character-driven fiction that explores the intricacies of family, grief, and identity, I highly recommend this book.Report PermalinkHelpful
