\"Reunion\"<\/p>\n

This is a new author to me.\u00a0\u00a0If you enjoy reading about estranged and dysfunctional families, then I think you would enjoy this one — I did. It’s a quick read and told through the\u00a0narration of the main character, Kate Pulaski.<\/p>\n

The first line of the book is, “On June 16, at roughly eight-thirty in the morning, I get the phone call that my father is dead,” which makes you want to keep reading.\u00a0 At least I did.<\/p>\n

Kate’s life is pretty well in shambles before she finds out about her father’s suicidal death.\u00a0 Her siblings tell her she has to travel to Atlanta for the funeral, which she can neither afford nor wants to face.\u00a0 The book covers the next four days of her coping with\u00a0face-to-face encounters with her four stepmothers and many half-siblings. \u00a0As Kate haphazardly deals with her messed up\u00a0life, she also comes to terms with her relationship with her father.\u00a0 The book has\u00a0sibling relationships, adultery, childhood issues, and so much more, so enjoy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
