There's a Word for That, Sloane Tanen

This was an unexpected fun read. I say unexpected because the title didn’t really snag me (and I still don’t really see the connection), but nonetheless, it was well worth my time. Such fun.

Nothing really earth-shattering in this novel about a Hollywood family whose flame has long since been extinguished, but the dialogue, the personal struggles that Ms. Tanen brought to life in such a way that I could actually ‘hear’ the people talking (or in this case going off on one another), was spot-on. I love a good family saga where miscommunication is at the root - it seems that is so often the case in life.

This is a feel-good, ends well story with a bit of a zing I didn’t expect at the end. Don’t misread that, I could tell it was all going to get sorted, it was the how that zinged me.

Well done, Ms. Tanen. I will look for more of your writing.
