Molly Black is gone missing - or at least, she's packed her bags and left a note that she doesn't want to be found for a while but if the Black family are good at anything, it's finding Molly when she has one of her runaway moments. This is the story of a family who love each other beyond measure and will always be there for each other - even if sometimes this is a slightly over suffocating way. It's also a story about grief as Molly is dealing with the death of her parents and how that grief has stayed with her for years into adulthood and she's still dealing with it.

I listened to this on audiobook and just absolutely loved it. The Black family are brilliant with the variety of different characters from the leader of the pack Uncle John who could never have children but is actually a perfect father figure for all his nieces and nephews and he loves them fiercely, as well as Lady V who married into the family and is still figuring out all the oddities but also what makes the Blacks special. Then there's cousin Anna who has always been in Molly's shadow but is now realising just how much she loves her cousin and wants to find her.

I think this book would be a wonderful wild movie like The Snapper showcasing Irish family life and mad characters you tend to find in a lot of extended families. I loved seeing a glimpse into all the character's lives, and all the ways everyone was intertwined with one another - and especially the effect of Molly's mother and her special ways, and why it's so sad she's no longer around to be with everyone but especially to help her daughter along her road in adulthood.
