What do You think about A Friend Of The Family (2004)?
After finishing my previous book, A Prayer for Owen Meany, which was very emotional and often heavy, I needed a quick, fun read and this fit the bill. I loved the previous book I read by Lisa Jewell and this did not disappoint. She is a great writer: very funny, clever, and often touching. This story is about the London family (who also live in London) and their three grown sons, who are all going through various stages of crises in their lives--divorce, job troubles, etc, and the book follows their stories as they navigate the ups and downs and ultimately work things out, of course.Nothing terribly earth-shattering here, but the writing is crisp, moves along at a nice pace, and is full of humor and emotion.
