I am starting this as a new topic because I think my comments will be more generalized. I LOVED THIS BOOK!! An imperfect family with each character fully developed and personally engaging. Every family has one or the other character of this family tree...and you get to love or hate who you wish because they are so totally human. Of course, for a former New Yorker, it doesn't hurt to be able to totally relate with the locale...especially the poignancy of 9/11. The Nest was engaging! Each chapter egged me on and on to a perfect conclusion of Lila and a promise for the future. Super book!
