The Most Fun We Ever Had (Reese's Book Club Pick): A Novel
In this “rich, complex family saga” (USA Today) full of long-buried family secrets, Marilyn Connolly and David Sorenson fall in love in the 1970s, blithely ignorant of all that awaits them. By 2016, they have four radically different daughters, each in a state of unrest.

Iâd say 3.5 stars rounded up due to the depth of the characters and the writing. This is Claire Lombardoâs first novel and it is reminiscent of This Is Us but with more than a PG-13 rating (I could have done with less sex scenes). The parents in this family saga have a wonderful marriage. The four adult girls all have issues and need counseling at the very least. I could tell the author is a former Social Worker from how she writes these characters. They are all very believable. Where this novel fell down for me was that it started to drag. I think she needed to edit it down more.
Our general consensus was that it was like getting a very up close and personal look into the heart and soul of a family.
It was a book that really left us waiting for the characters to be...better and whilst they almost never did or it came too little too late at least we were given the reasons behind why they were who they were.
This book just is not a "good read". No real plot and very verbose. The book has many pages that are so repetitive! Most members of my bookclub couldn't stand to read over half of the book!
No character development. Jonah’s character and David towards the end were the only redeeming pieces but otherwise it was 600+ pages of nonsense.
Hated the repulsive pornographic verbiage early in the book and then the repulsive language shortly thereafter
