book 4

liars and saints, maile meloy
rating:


look at me, plugging along! the semester starts tomorrow, so i've got to pack in my last-minute vacation reading. this book was pretty great. alicia had it on her faves list from last year, along with a family daughter, meloy's most recent novel, and after reading a few reviews, i was intrigued. it's all about the santerres, a family living (mostly) in california. the multi-generational story leaves plenty of room for interesting family drama. it was a little strange to read this, because i was already halfway through a family daughter, which deals with the same family, when i decided i needed to read this one before finishing. so now i know a little more background and it's hard to know what i'd think of this one if i didn't know that. but i'm sure i'd still like it. i only knocked off that robot's head b/c things felt a bit rushed for me at the end.
