This book has a couple of very different stories in a sort of uneven combination—part multi-protagonist family coming-of-age saga with multiple romances, part Iraq war suspense mystery. While the stories rely on each other, the melding has a certain confusing dissonance.
“April May June July,” by Alison B. Hart
Estranged siblings are all going to the same wedding. They haven’t seen each other in years. Before the wedding April sees their father, who went missing a decade ago, making it even more complicated.
I unfortunately didn’t really like this book very much. I felt like I wasn’t given enough time or backstory or something to actually like most of the characters, so I didn’t care when all the bad things were happening to them. I just don’t think the characters were very likeable at all. 2 out of 5 stars, not for me.
