Same As It Ever Was by Claire Lombardo. Thanks to @doubledaybooks for the gifted Arc ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Julia finds herself in midlife with two adult children, and a few surprises, including the reemergence of a past friend that caused hurt to her marriage in the past.

At over 500 pages, I knew this book would be quite the saga. It is a very realistic story of a very realistic and dramatic, but also typical, family. While slower paced for me, and a bit longer than I think it needed to be, I enjoyed the look into the matriarch and her family. It was an accurate look at marriage and motherhood.

“The power dynamic in their household is not unlike that of a years-long hostage crisis.”

Same As It Ever Was comes out 6/18.
