    Fans of The Nest will love this title
    This quick paced novel about a mildly dysfunctional family quarantined together over Christmas has moments of warmth and wit. The plot revolves around the relationships of a food critic, his wife, and their two daughters, Phoebe and Olivia. Some of the circumstances this family finds itself confronting just seem to strain belief a bit, but if you can put that out of your mind, the storytelling is enjoyable. Phoebe is an especially fun character as she is quite shallow and most of the humor centers on her. Readers who enjoyed The Nest will probably eat this novel up. Personally, I wasn't one of those readers, but of the two novels, I believe this one is more interesting, more humorous and has better developed characters.
