The Most Fun We Ever Had by Claire Lombardo

"If you're a fan of big, meaty, insanely absorbing family sagas, then look no further: your next wonderful read is here. The Sorenson family of Oak Park, IL—parents Marilyn and David and their four adult daughters—mostly have their act together...until one daughter's past comes back to haunt them all. Lombardo is a phenomenal writer with a gift for dialogue and the ability to bring all of her characters to beautiful, sparkling life. This is, no doubt, one of my favorite books of the year."  - Recommended by Erika

When Marilyn Connolly and David Sorenson fall in love in the 1970s, they are blithely ignorant of all that's to come. By 2016, their four radically different daughters are 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 when the darkest part of her past resurfaces; 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. Above it all, the daughters share the lingering fear that they will never find a love quite like their parents'.
