A review by sunnys_library
A Very Typical Family by Sierra Godfrey
3.5
This was a great debut! This is piece of life, family reunited after years of not seeing each other, and a book about grief and guilt.
Some reviews say that this book was boring. I found this quite good, it talks about heavy subjects, family dynamics and grief and guilt. Yes, some of the characters were kind of dumb but I couldn't put the book down! I didn't find it boring, I found it warming. The three siblings coming back together after a lot of trauma.
The end is a happy ending and it felt like a great cozy read. Noncrazy twists or dramatic ending, which was great. Predicatble but happy and cozy.
Why did Jake go missing?? Like... why not contact your siblings let them know you need some time to process everything. If he wasn't mad about the past why hide away? From his collegues too. Didn't seem too logical.
