We All Live Here is classic Jojo Moyes in a lot of ways—funny, heartfelt, and full of messy family dynamics—but this one didn’t fully land for me. Lila is juggling a lot: her ex-husband has moved on (and gotten someone else pregnant), her stepdad has kind of just…moved in, and now her long-lost biological father shows up out of the blue. Oh, and the two dads hate each other. Naturally.

There are sweet, relatable moments, and Moyes does a nice job showing how complicated family can be. But with so many moving parts, some characters and storylines felt underdeveloped. It’s still a comforting read, just not one that stuck with me long after finishing.
