New dream: buy an orchard and move to Michigan! This sweet, hilarious family was such a joy to read. I love the personalities of the girls, of Joe, Saint Sebastian, and the way Lara’s past unfolded. You saw her young, naive self, which was relatable…and you saw her as a mother which I can also relate to in many ways. 

So many things in life feel more important than they are. But, what might seem mundane is the most beautiful. 

I love that Lara was reluctant but still willing to share her past with her daughters, and she had many moments where I laughed out loud. “The past need not be so all encompassing that it renders us incapable of making egg salad.” -Lara 🤣
