The #1 New York Times bestselling author, whose books so many love,
brings us a fresh, contemporary story of a woman and her unruly blended family
Lila Kennedy has a lot on her plate. A broken marriage, two wayward
daughters, a house that is falling apart, and an elderly stepfather who seems
to have quietly moved in. Her career is in freefall and her love life is . . .
complicated. So when her real dad—a man she has barely seen since he ran off to
Hollywood thirty-five years ago—suddenly appears on her doorstep, it feels like
the final straw. But it turns out even the family you thought you could never
forgive might have something to teach you: about love, and what it actually
means to be family.
I really loved this book. I'm not the biggest Women's Fiction fan, but this was so much more. It was sad and sweet and hopeful and crazy and funny. We get romance and grief and letting go and moving on and ... I just loved reading it. I would so love to see this on TV one day.
