The Most Fun We Ever Had

Really enjoyed the story, but it would’ve benefited from an editor cutting about 100 pages.

The title captures the sentiment of one of the key characters, when telling another to relay thoughts about their time together being the most fun he/she/they ever had. No spoilers here on this plot-critical development. But the reader is quickly drawn into the fun of a what being in a family can mean - warts and all. All the dysfunction, drama and misunderstandings, as well as the love, that bring a family together. The family was an upper middle class family helmed by a doctor Dad, a predominantly stay at home Mom, and four daughters that grow through their share of problems - even though they’re fully grown and no more mature than they were in their childhood. I listened on audio, and enjoyed the narrator’s expressions as family fought with family, but loved one another fiercely. A VERY long book. But many tales to tell, covering different characters and viewpoints. I hated to leave them behind.

Became bored very quickly with this book as nothing much happened! Managed to get around half way through and had to give up. Would not recommend.

Drawn out, overly wordy. Nothing actually "happened".

What a tough read ! Hard to want to stay invested and intrigued . I found it confusing and the past references felt out of order. This is the first book I can’t finish and it took me over four months just to get to 66% of it - I would not recommend
