This book was good, but... strange.

And by the way, Dr. Pete has also never gotten over the crush he's had on his best friend's wife since they all met in college. . With that being said after I looked up the synopsis and realized it was not a thriller, I was able to focus a little bit more on the actual story and not waiting for what was coming.
While shooting around a basketball, Dr. Pete -- who I think is supposed to be about 6 feet 2 -- dunks.

Although I usually prefer novels which tell one particular story, often along with a few subplots, the voice of the narrator is so strong and engaging that I stayed interested from beginning to end. It was an enjoyable way to pass the time.
I found the family at the heart of the book to be so loveable and was fully engaged with all the separate threads that ran through it. LAUREN GRODSTEIN is the author of three previous works of fiction, most recently the New York Times bestselling novel A Friend of the Family, which was a Washington Post Best Book Pick, a New York Times Editor’s Pick, a BookPage Best Book, and an Indie Next Pick. They are easy to listen to and the narrator’s voices are smooth, love the accents and vocabulary.
Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) is a service we offer sellers that lets them store their products in Amazon's fulfillment centers, and we directly pack, ship, and provide customer service for these products. That one was slightly hokey, but interesting enough to want to see what else she had to offer.
Obviously, it's meant to represent Pete's wandering memory during this dark night of the soul, but it sometimes comes across as merely calculating and coy, the author's attempt to manipulate extra suspense with misdirection and delay.
There's so much warmth to her writing- her books are like chatting with your sister or best friend. .
We know something terrible has happened but we don't find out exactly what until the last dozen pages or so.
Something we hope you'll especially enjoy: If you're a seller, Fulfillment by Amazon can help you grow your business.

A Friend of the Family book.
The author does a great job in writing from a man's perspective and it's very convincing--unlike a novel I read a few months ago in which it was very clear from the first two pages that the man who wrote it couldn't make his female narrator believable. This novel, instead, tells a few compelling stories and eventually gets back to what's presented at the beginning. Dr. Pete Dizinoff is the chastened narrator of this drama of self-destruction. I thought it was going to be hokey, but I had run out of things to read.
efforts to prod them toward wise decisions incite their sarcasm, then their exasperation and finally their slammed doors. Just a moment while we sign you in to your Goodreads account.
Even though it didn't seem like it was going anywhere at times, the ending definitely shows that there was a point to it all.Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2017
Jewell also seems pretty ignorant about race and identity in her earlier books, and either she or her editors have been able to sort that out in her more recent efforts.I have read several Lisa Jewell novels and I find her reading an easy read .

The climax felt predictable and didn't change much about how I felt about the story.
There were a few laugh out loud moments but overall the sort of book that doesn't take a lot of concentration. She does an amazing job examining all the issues -- whether someone who's made a horrible mistake can ever redeem their lives and how much parents should interfere in their children's lives without running the risk of just making everything worse.
She captures "the vague but persistent smell of striving, of other people's koi ponds." Brothers Tony, Sean, and Ned had the perfect upbringing, but now that they are grown up, real life is starting to get in the way.
The real crisis of this novel is sparked by Alec's infatuation with Pete's best friend's daughter, a 31-year-old woman who has recently returned home after years of bohemian living.
