A Novel
by Jojo Moyes
The #1 New York Times bestselling author, whose books so many love, brings us a fresh, contemporary story of a woman and her unruly blended family.
Lila Kennedy has a lot on her plate. A broken marriage, two wayward daughters, a house that is falling apart, and an elderly stepfather who seems to have quietly moved in. Her career is in freefall and her love life is ... complicated. So when her real dad—a man she has barely seen since he ran off to Hollywood thirty-five years ago—suddenly appears on her doorstep, it feels like the final straw. But it turns out even the family you thought you could never forgive might have something to teach you: about love, and what it actually means to be family.

I recently attended an author event of Wally Lamb and started his book The River is Waiting. Tough topic, but can't put it down. I also have JoJo Moyes We All Live Here from Libby and reading on my iPad.

"Hilarious ... believable and funny ... Moyes combines the warmth of an Annabel Monaghan rom-com with the humanity of a Catherine Newman novel, creating a story that will provoke tears and laughter. [We All Live Here is] a moving, realistic look at one woman's post-divorce family life that manages to be both poignant and funny." —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"Wise, funny, and compassionate." —BookReporter
"No one writes women of a certain age better than Jojo Moyes - reminding us that we matter, even when the world tries to make us invisible. It takes a master of the craft to catalog the messy vicissitudes of life in a way that both haunts and validates the reader's own experiences, and her latest novel proves that there is no time like the present to rewrite one's own story." —Jodi Picoult, #1 New York Times bestselling author of By Any Other Name
"Jojo Moyes is as wise, funny and glorious as ever with We All Live Here. She never ever disappoints." —Lisa Jewell, #1 New York Times bestselling author of None of This Is True
"We All Live Here is so funny, touching, and full of wisdom: Jojo Moyes at her very best." —Sophie Kinsella, New York Times bestselling author of The Burnout
