The phrase "zany adventure" comes to mind. When incidental siblings come together to keep one of them out of Big Trouble, the story we read is one about family, the difficult consequences of all our choices, history and the way it reverberates for generations, and love in all its complicated glory.
I was worried when the first big "twist" was revealed because I could see that the author was asking me to suspend all disbelief and just support these people as they tried to figure things out. I pushed through and found quite a few moments of reflection and tenderness.
