An engaging story of a weirdly blended family with a touch of intrigue. You can tell that something happened to these kids as they grew up. However it is told from one POV so you can‘t “hear” what is in everybody‘s head. ( ) Engaging little book - I felt that the length of the book was strange, however - there were a lot of frantic ideas packed into a too tight package. It reminded me of Stewart O'Nan's "Wish You Were Here" which was substantially longer and allowed the reader an immersive experience. Perhaps it should have been a short story or an epic novel. When I first heard the premise of this book, it reminded me of The Nest, which I really did not like at all. I was pleasantly surprised to find that I quite enjoyed this novel. The writing style was really great, and kept me engaged throughout the story. It wasn't filled with useless details, and everything was connected. I loved the characters. They were all so eccentric and funny and just lovable. The story was told from Charlotte's perspective, and she doesn't shy away from any of the craziness that surrounds her. But through her account, we see the different facets of each child's personality that come together to make them the way they are. The story began to really pick up pace at the midpoint of the novel and it moved quickly until the end. It isn't a happy ending, but it is one that I feel is realistic and genuine. I wasn't expecting this novel to win me over but it did. It really really did. And in order to appreciate this novel for its worth, you just have to read it! geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
