Jonathan Franzen, 2021

Wow. I thought my family was fucked. This is a very compelling novel about a really messed up family falling apart. Hypocritical father, somewhat psychotic mother...the kids, as pastor's children going wild, thats actually not that unusual. I really thought the novel was beautifully written and incredibly engrossing. I'm quite looking forward to the rest of the planned trilogy.
