We All Live Here: A Novel
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
“Nobody writes women the way Jojo Moyes does.” —Jodi Picoult
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.

We All Live Here is a family drama full of complex characters centered around Lila, a 42 year old divorcée who is navigating single parenthood and a looming book deadline, all while trying to keep the peace and get back in the dating game.
While there wasn't an overly developed plot, the characters provide enough entertainment to keep the reader engaged.

I LOVED all of the characters in this multi-generational story. The step-dad taking care of his stepdaughter after the divorce, when the husband leaves her for a younger Swedish mom at the same school where the youngest daughter attends. The teen daughter who is taught how to ignore the girls who appear to shun her by her Captain Kirk like actor grandfather. And Mom Lila, trying to sex-up her life after divorce by writing about it, but renders all kinds of disasters in the romance department by writing about it. I so plan to share this one with my bookclub!!
Long and dragged at times (not how you'd think a five star review would begin...) but I had to would up my 4.5 start review because of the great way she handled forgiveness. We all make mistakes. Families are messy. Taking care of kids and parents is a lot.
