Beautiful, Complicated Family are a collection of Flash Fiction works by Rosey Lee; I'm fairly new to flash fiction but as the name suggests they're extremely short and you get a very slim snippet of the characters and story.  The description suggests you can read each story in around 5 minutes, obviously that depends on your reading speed but it was right for me.

While short in length these stories give you plenty to think about; not a sentence gets wasted in flash fiction, its all in there for a reason so there's no getting annoyed at filler content or whimsical descriptions. If you're someone who has very little spare time but still wants to get a bit of reading in these would be absolutely perfect as you can read them in the time it takes to have a cup of tea and I actually think these are enjoyed more as individual stories rather than trying to blast through the entire volume in 20mins to give your mind a little time to let the characters and their situations settle slightly before moving onto the next one.

From Volume Two my favourite was 'The Friendship PIP' which follows on some characters we met in Volume One so while its not too vital that you read them in order I'd recommend you do if only for that.

A couple and his sick mother.
A devoted aunt and her niece.
A revisit from the two best friends from Vol 1 - on a new path.
A pastor's daughter and the congregation.
An innocent, unplanned meeting of past and present.

Another five bite-sized stories that leave you with a glow in the heart - a hug with words.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for allowing me the chance to read this book.

It is a joy to find a really good book of short stories. Each of the five stories is quite short (flash fiction), only a few pages long. The stories are about relationships and families. Many stories are medically related, as the author is a physician. Some stories were very touching, and others made me smile. This is volume two of two volumes, and they are absolute gems! I would love to read more from this author!

I liked this one more than the first volume I think. Fans of Flash Fiction will like this, the writing style is enjoyable and the stories are good. I just want more substance.

Beautiful, Complicated Family Vol 2 by Rosey Lee is the second addition to this charming series of 'fast fiction' stories. Having read the first volume, I was anxious to continue the journey, and found that I was just as intrigued by this wonderful encore.

Each story can be read in mere minutes, but should be savoured and absorbed at leisure. This is another beautiful collection about the uniquely special bond that is shared by families, and the themes are truly universal. These quick reads will not only resonate, but will linger and beg reflection long after the pages have been turned.

Many thanks to NetGalley, BooksGoSocial, and Rosey Lee for the opportunity to read and review this series.

A sweet set of short stories about a variety of different family circumstances. A short read/collection of short stories but gives pause for thought.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for providing this book in exchange for an honest review.
This is volume 2 of these flash fiction stories. Similar to volume 1, they are each a quick read that gives readers a glimpse into the lives of these families.

Beautiful, Complicated Family, volume two was an enjoyable and quick read, as the first one. In this book, you can find five flash fiction (very short) stories about families and their relationships.

I think it would be better if all ten stories were in one book, as they are not so long.

I love the swift stories.No time for a short story? Read this!! Some were light-hearted, some were touching.
Thanks to NetGalley for the advance copy to review.

The second book in the series is as uplifting as the first and the five flash fiction stories don't disappoint instead providing a definitely positive reading experience.

I was able to read an advanced copy of this book thanks to NetGalley and the publishers in exchange for an unbiased review and would recommend it and volume one highly.
