Thank you to the publisher for a free Netgalley. 

I almost picked up the new Backman this weekend, but told myself I did not want to be emotionally destroyed. SO I chose this one just to be emotionally destroyed anyways. 

Our four siblings are being reunited for the first time in three years. As we read the current timeline, we are also brought through their different road trips they took with their mother which leads to the event that starts to fracture their close bond. 

I absolutely loved this book and this whole family. Greta James was one of my favs when it came out, so I was worried about the expectations. Well Smith nailed it. All the feelings, beautifully written, and flawed but absolutely lovable characters. 

Highly recommend.
