The Summer We Fell Apart by Robin Antalek

5.0

Just a character driven story of a family. The parents dislike each other- and the book told through the 4 children's point of view, but each child has a section. Amy is the youngest and she talks about the first part of the story. Then there's her older brother George and how he falls in love with the father of one of his students. Then there's Kate who is the oldest and had to take care of her younger siblings as a kid so when she went away for school she was just gone. Then there's the wicked alcoholic Finn who struggles to the point of almost no return. I loved the writing and felt the book got better as it went along. I love a good dysfunctional family and this was that to a T.
