Sehr unterhaltsam. Die Romanze steht ein bisschen im Hintergrund und die verschiedenen Familienverhältnisse im Vordergrund, verpackt mit ein bisschen Humor. Finde man erwartet wenig Tiefe, bekommt sie aber dafür und die Hauptprotagonistin ist sehr reflektiert und sympathisch.

The title really says it all. It is a comedy story based around a woman who is sort of estranged from her family which stays together for a week for the youngest daughter’s wedding. Poppy, the protagonist is not close to her family and learns a lot about them and they learn more about her during that trip while healing wounds from the past. During their stay at a beach house the family grows closer together, secrets are unveiled and Poppy meets a man and falls in love with him but the romance is not the main focus of the book. Overall the writing style is funny, very fitting for the setting of the story informative due to Poppy’s work as a sex therapist without being overly cheesy and condescending. It gave me sitcom feels while reading it and I could see it in the likes of New Girl or Gilmore Girls.
