Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for allowing me to read this book. I guess I am definitely in the minority here with this review. When I read the blurb for this book I was quite intrigued and was expecting some major drama and excitement. I don’t know, I totally did not like this family. I thought them making the terrorist attack all about them did not sit well with me and at that point I was just done with this family. The very best part of the book was the end and Patty’s point of view. I can deal with 1 character that I dislike but I didn’t like the whole lot of them.

This book was fast paced. Hard to put down. It flowed well and it was very well written. It caught hold of me and had me hooked from the start . I was literally on the edge of my seat reading this book.

Bravo bravo! What a fun and exciting family drama. While each character had their flaws, it was just a regular family. Yes they were in the spotlight, but they argued and loved like any family. Loved this book!!

Thanks to author,publisher and Netgalley for the chance to read this book. While I got the book for free,it had no bearing on the rating it.

I received an advanced reader’s copy in exchange for an honest review

Very well crafted. Was five star 90% of the way but the ending was a smidge too dramatic, hence the four. Hubris never gets to be its own reward.

Absolute gem! The dynamics of family, new love and politics in this book just work! A fast paced, but at the same
time, relaxing read that takes into account what is happening in the world, and in the Country. Great exploration of relationships and how optics play into our daily lives! Thanks for the advance copy! Looking forward to the next book from Thai author!

This book was received as an ARC from HARLEQUIN - MIRA in exchange for an honest review. Opinions and thoughts expressed in this review are completely my own.

This book screams future Hallmark movie and/or regular movie due to the perfect family having family problems forgetting what it means to be a family tightened together. All it takes is a film producer agreeing to film the Senator and his sons for a documentary at their family reunion. Little did they know their youngest son picks this time to unveil a secret he has been keeping that takes everyone off guard and if that was not enough, the Senator declares that he will run in the next political race and not everyone is on board with this idea and all of the secrets are exposed and chaos comes across the family and they just get out of control. It's all thanks to this experience that makes them realize what it means to be a family.

We will consider adding this title to our Fiction collection at our library. That is why we give this book 5 stars.

When the four sons of ex-senator John and his wife Patty come to spend a few weeks for vacation at the lake home, it is a controlled chaos. The oldest, JJ has his wife and two teenage sons, Spencer has his husband Ian, Charles has his latest girlfriend, and Philip has an announcement. During this time they are also being filmed for a documentary and John is considering running for governor. A lot of drama, and a lot of the view is from the spouses, which gives a different perspective. Hard to put this one down, and one I highly recommend.
