This one is sort of outside my usual wheelhouse, but it was the novel voted for this month in the book club I’m a part of with my coworkers. It is well written, I can give it that. The best description I can give is this: it is like reading a soap opera. A somewhat boring soap opera. It has scandals and family drama, that’s for sure, but not a whole lot else. Not many of the characters were particularly likeable, and I personally had a difficult time relating to a lot of the issues they faced but that might be a personal problem, I acknowledge that. If you’re looking for a read that won’t really challenge you, almost every character is insufferably horny, and has just enough intrigue to get you at least somewhat invested, The Most Fun We Ever had might just deliver.
