Summoned to her impulsive sister Lucy's last-minute wedding, Margot is heading home for the first time in eight years. Because it's a wedding, she'll have to deal with the disagreements she has with her father (who left her mother for a younger woman when Margot was 15), her overbearing oldest sister Eve (who is attempting to micromanage the heck out of Lucy's big day), and her mother, bestselling author K.T. Turner, who has been holding a grudge against Margot since she left home at 16 in what K.T. still considers a teenage tantrum. But as the wedding date rapidly arrives, the Turner family's long-buried secrets and resentments bubble up to the surface.
I love reading dysfunctional family stories, and while it's not as funny as many of its counterparts, this one definitely fits the bill. It's a great examination of stale love, miscommunication, and unintentional selfishness, all of which exist in just about every family I've ever encountered. There are some difficult subjects discussed in this book, but it's a wonderful book all the same.
