[quote=Anonymous]Finished Buckeye by Patrick Ryan. A little long, but enjoyable. The characters were fairly endearing and true to themselves. I would recommend you read it! Undecided if it will stay in my collection. I don't love when it feels like trying too hard to weave in the title, the way he did it just felt a little meh to me, like would that actually have happened in these families? And there was a hug at the end that felt implausible. But other than those two things, this book was great. Weaving through generations, imperfect parents, the shame of secrets, accepting humanness - all themes I enjoy in a family drama. I cried multiple times reading it. There was a quote toward the end, "This is why old people seem distant and distracted, he thought. We aren't living in the past; the past is living in us. And it's talking." I'm only 42 but really felt this. Beautiful.[/quote]
