heidirgorecki 's review for:

One Big Happy Family by Jamie Day
2.0
dark mysterious tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

There was just so much going on in this, and the characters were all over the place. Some things just weren’t realistic or consistent, and the characters vascular between being unbelievable gullible and naive, to having insightful intuition and character judgement the next moment. 

It was also weird the way Quinn who was a college student, was referred to multiple times as a kid by someone younger than him, and Ollie’s character was portrayed as autistic in most scenes and completely neurotypical in others. 

It was just odd, wildly dramatic, and not believable to me. 

Thanks to Netgalley for the advanced copy of this book. All opinions are mine.
