About This Book

A simple story about two families coming together for what was meant to be a wholesome Thanksgiving dinner. Observed and narrated through changing sets of eyes, showing different angles on an ordinary situation. From your typical teenage love story, to a partnership that's falling apart, all the way to a friendship that is faced with the transitoriness of the human body - this story tries to capture the individual little moments and challenges that play a common part in the human experience.

Our Review

This insightful novel turns a seemingly ordinary Thanksgiving dinner into a compelling exploration of human relationships through multiple perspectives. Readers experience the same gathering through different family members' eyes, revealing teenage romance, crumbling partnerships, and the fragility of friendship against aging bodies. The narrative masterfully captures how the same moments can hold entirely different meanings depending on who's observing them, transforming a simple family meal into a rich tapestry of interconnected lives.

What makes this story particularly memorable is its honest portrayal of the small, often overlooked challenges that shape our shared human experience. Young readers navigating complex family dynamics will appreciate seeing their own experiences reflected in these authentic characters, while parents will value the book's thoughtful approach to difficult topics like relationship strain and physical decline. The shifting viewpoints create a nuanced portrait that respects the complexity of family life without offering easy answers, leaving readers with much to contemplate about perception and connection long after the final page.
