Whatever Wednesday - We All Live Here by Jojo Moyes

 We All Live Here by Jojo Moyes is quite the family tale. I was starting to get claustrophobia. 

cover blurb -Lila Kennedy wrote a bestselling book about keeping your marriage alive. Now she's watching her ex-husband play happy families with another woman. Her very fractured family is forced to live under one roof and Lila thinks she's reached her limit.  But what if the one person you couldn't forgive holds the secret to pulling your  family together again?  

Meanwhile, her agent is  bugging her for  her next book - hoping it will be about being single again and playing the field. Lila isn't  feeling that free and easy. She's maybe seeing Jensen.  

Her stepdad, Bill, moved in after Lila's mother died. He helped raise Lila. He's a help until he's not.

Her real father, Gene, a failed Hollywood actor, was never around. Suddenly he's at her doorstep - out of money. 

And her daughters, Celie and Violet, are furious at their father who left them, and are now rather fascinated by this "new" grandfather. 

What a mess.  Lila has a lot to deal with and work through.  Jojo Moyes is a solid writer who keeps the plot churning, the characters in  play, and humor abounds amidst the messes of family life. 

Well done.
