"What did it mean, Marley wondered, to be married to one Joseph, but wife or mother to them all?"
If you love a family drama, you need to read 𝗠𝗘𝗥𝗖𝗨𝗥𝗬 by Amy Jo Burns. The Joseph family is fiercely loyal but highly dysfunctional with secrets galore. It's very much a character-driven story but with a love triangle and a dead body, it's full of small-town secrets.
I alternated between a physical copy and the audiobook, and really loved the narration. At the heart of this story are the two Joseph women and she brought their stories (as well as those of the men) to life beautifully.
I've seen other reviews compare it to Tracey Lange's books and I completely agree. Mercury would make a great book club read, and I'm excited to discuss it with some friends this week. With themes of motherhood, marriage and what makes a family, there's so much to dive into!
