So glad I finally got to read TJR's latest book! The author has a special way of weaving complex characters and complicated situations together. This book is no exception.
Split into two parts, this is the story of Mick Riva's family, specifically his kids. Part 1 tells the story of the early days of the Riva family. Part 2 takes place on the evening of the annual Riva party. The year is 1983 and this summer party is unlike all the others. In fact, it becomes a defining moment in the lives of each of the Riva kids.
I was immediately immersed in the story, the setting, and the characters' lives. I enjoyed Part 1 much more than Part 2, but overall found the story engaging throughout. This won't be my favorite TJR book, but it's one I'll think of for a long time.
