I've read a lot of dysfunctional family books and this one wasn't much different. So many things going on with the parents, exes, siblings, grandchildren, that it's hard to keep up and there are just scenes that are a little bit too far-fetched.

I almost put this book down close to where I usually do if I'm not enjoying it but picked it up again a few days later. Was it worth finishing? I think so. I ended up liking it more than I thought I would in the beginning.

While it's got redeemable qualities, it lacks depth and theme though I suspect the author felt otherwise. I grew weary of the redundant story line that's focused on a deeply dysfunctional family composed of flat, clueless characters. And while humorous in an ordinary way. I can't say it's funny. Not sure what the author had in mind, but for me, the word for this book is Dull!

Very entertaining, with likable characters. Mentioned in What Should I Read Next podcast July 2020.

3.5 stars, read for book club. Mostly meh. Retired film producer Marty and his grown (supposedly) daughters Janine and Amanda (who has twin daughters) and their dysfunctional relationships, including Marty's with his first ex-wife Bunny. He reconnects with Bunny when they are both in rehab in Malibu. Marty has a history of bad relationships and is currently in one with Gail who seems to only want his money, never minding Marty is practically out of his. There is a wide range of personalities in the characters in the book. I liked Henry and Janine, for the most part, after she arrived in LA.… (meer)
