This was very cute, and a good light option if you're looking for heart-warming family drama. Thanks to @bookishfirst and @celadonbooks for the early copy!

This takes place over a week between the funeral of the family patriarch and the wedding of a family friend. At the funeral, a major secret is publicly revealed, and several others come to light over the course of the week, affecting every generation of the family.

This took me a minute to get into. There are a lot of characters! And the writing changes perspective constantly, like often one paragraph to the next. Seriously don't listen to this on audio, you'll be lost immediately. The chapters are also really long, so it was one of those books where I was always looking ahead to see how far I had to go.

But it grew on me. Once I got them straight, I found most of the characters really endearing, and enjoyed seeing how their stories played out. It had some really touching moments as well as some funny ones. As a fan of the Bachelor franchise, I also very much enjoyed that one of the characters was on The Bachelorette!

I don't think this is one that will necessarily stick with me, but I did end up really enjoying it, it's very cute and a great family story.
