i haven't enjoyed fiction as much (speed reading the bridgertons doesn't count) since the rosie project. this is a well written intricately crafted satisfyingly full if perhaps a tad-too-long book. it is a book you are dying to finish and then you feel bereft when you do. and because her style effortlessly entangles you you don't notice how many characters there are; you simply add them uncomplainingly to your mental model.
it is the story of how a picture-perfect family implodes in a totally believable way. i love the way she deals with the psyche of addiction. as well as the power balance in a relationship. as well the tribe of reasonable children. although the parents-from-hell are a bit over the top.
this is book umami.
