Product Details
- “A gripping and poignant ode to a messy, loving family in all its glory.” —Madeline Miller, New York Times bestselling author of Circe A New York Times BestsellerLonglisted for the Women's Prize for Fiction In this “rich, complex family saga” (USA Today) full of long-buried family secrets, Marilyn Connolly and David Sorenson fall in love in the 1970s, blithely ignorant of all that awaits them. By 2016, they have four radically different daughters, each in a state of unrest. Wendy, widowed young, soothes herself with booze and younger men; Violet, a litigator turned stay-at-home-mom, battles anxiety and self-doubt; Liza, a neurotic and newly tenured professor, finds herself pregnant with a baby she's not sure she wants by a man she's not sure she loves; and Grace, the dawdling youngest daughter, begins living a lie that no one in her family even suspects. With the unexpected arrival of young Jonah Bendt—a child placed for adoption by one of the daughters fifteen years before—the Sorensons will be forced to reckon with the rich and varied tapestry of their past. As they grapple with years marred by adolescent angst, infidelity, and resentment, they also find the transcendent moments of joy that make everything else worthwhile.

Family Life Editorial Review
The editorial review for "The Most Fun We Ever Had" by Claire Lombardo is polarizing, with readers having mixed reactions. Several readers struggled to connect with the characters due to the dysfunctional nature of the family and the heavy use of profanity. They found it challenging to get into the plot, which includes a lot of back and forth between the past and the present. Some also felt that the book was overly wordy and trite. However, one reader was unable to put the book down despite disliking most of the characters, demonstrating the gripping nature of the narrative. Despite the negative aspects, they were still invested in finding out what happened to one character they cared about. Overall, the reception of the book seems to be quite divided, with some struggling to get through it while others found themselves engrossed in the story despite its shortcomings. **
