Apples Never Fall

Cute family centric book. Dysfunctional family

Oh the length of this book in audio version... I really struggled to finish this book. The first half of the book seemed to drone on forever, without ever really getting interesting. The second half of the book is where it finally picked up! The tennis driven family of 6 in a twisting and turning whirlwind of who did it, where is mom, who is this stranger living with my parents, did dad kill mom was intriguing to say the least. I did watch the series after I read the book, it took some different turns, but ultimately told the same story. I would recommend watching the series, as it does the book justice, though reading the book - know it gets better in the second half when things are moving faster!

I just finished listening to an audiobook where a 19-year old girl disappeared and I didn’t love it. This audiobook focused on a 69-year old woman disappearing. I just couldn’t get into it at all and don’t know if my opinion was skewed because of the book I just finished. I “may” revisit this in future; I’ll have to think about it. Glad this was a library rental.

This is a DNF for me.

A book about relationships and about how the people we love the most can hurt us the most. Even though it ended pretty much the way I expected, I enjoyed learning why the characters were the way they were and how they all came to terms with themselves individually.
