I was given an arc of this book from Celadon books. I decided to read it because I liked this author's other book The Plot. in comparison this book was extremely boring, slow, and long. There's just so much filler and characters going on long rants that don't even hold any meaning to the actual plot. I skimmed through half this book. This book is centered around a rich family in New York City. It mostly follows the parents who struggle to have a child. Then three are born from IVF. We follow them through college and that's when the mom has a fourth child. The latecomer is barely in this book. We don't even really hear from the actual latecomer until like 70% into the book. However, this book had amazing representations of different religions(so much Jewish representation!!), races, sexualities, and more. I'd recommend giving it a try if you liked the plot, but overall this didn't feel worth the read to me!
