Hello Beautiful was a goodbye in the first 50 pages. Dry emotionally draining to read. Wanting so desperately for the author to do something with this story, these characters. I wanted to walk into the lake with William and drown already. That’s how I felt reading it like I was walking deeper & deeper into the lake with no hope for this book ever getting better.

Boring book up to page 99. That's enough of that. Couldn't finish it

This book was selected by my book club which is the only reason I felt I had to finish it. Otherwise I would have quit halfway through. I would give it one star, but I think the author is a pretty good writer. The characters were unappealing and the whole time I was reading it I wanted to yell: Get some family therapy! Too many contrivances for me. I can’t imagine a group of sisters like that. Here’s poor William who is severely depressed and on the verge of suicide and his wife is clueless. Maybe it’s because she sleeps with her sister with their arms entwined around each other most of the time. Really? No wonder William wanted out of there. And then let’s throw a lesbian plot line in there. There is more but I’ll stop there. If you like a group of completely dysfunctional people, this book is for you. Sorry, ugh.
