"It’s not a traditional family, but that doesn’t mean it’s not a family." What a beautiful book 😭. *We All Live Here* by Jojo Moyes was absolutely wonderful! Truly a gem! There’s just something about these kinds of stories. They’re technically simple in the way they’re written, just about the everyday lives of ordinary people, yet they somehow manage to grab hold of you and leave you in awe of the whole experience. With stories like this, you already know love and forgiveness are going to be ...

I honestly loved *We All Live Here*—not just for its wildly dysfunctional family dynamics, but also for the humorously heartwarming, surprisingly tender moments that gently tugged at my heartstrings! 💛 Sure, there’s plenty of drama, resentment, grief, heartbreak, and sadness swirling through the story. But just like real life, there are also laugh-out-loud moments tucked inside the chaos—unexpected flashes of humor that make you savor the delicious complexity of great storytelling. Every singl...

I liked "We All Live Here" by Jojo Moyes, but didn’t *love* it. Probably could round up my rating to 3.5 stars! I think if I hadn’t listened to this as an audiobook, I wouldn’t have enjoyed it as much. The narrator was British and really fun to listen to—she made some parts genuinely funny, and the novel definitely needed some comedic relief. I'm such a fan of Jojo Moyes's writing, but I struggled to connect with any of the characters on an emotional level in "We All Live Here". I'm likely not t...

While I usually love Jojo Moyes' books, "We All Live Here" didn't quite do it for me. It's readable, sure, but it covers well-worn territory—a struggling, divorced author and mom juggling family chaos and career uncertainty. Sound familiar?Lila's trying to hold it all together after her divorce, raising her daughters, Celie and Violet, while sharing a house with her stepfather, Bill, who moved in after her mom passed. The kicker? She built her career on a bestselling book about her "perfect" mar...

3.5 - 3.75 StarsThis was my second Jojo Moyes book, and much like the first one I read, I really enjoyed her writing style. She's incredibly talented and creates fantastic characters. The pages just turn themselves. But, similar to the other book by her that I read (and rated similarly), this one just didn't quite hit hard enough to earn a full 4 or 5 stars.Still, I really enjoyed reading "We All Live Here" though.I loved Bill, Gene, and Jensen. And the theater scene was particularly memorable. ...

3.5 stars, rounded up. For the most part, "We All Live Here" by Jojo Moyes lingers around a 3-star rating. However, I felt the final 25% of the story genuinely lifted it beyond that. Moyes truly excels at crafting character-driven narratives!Lila is a writer and a single mother to two daughters. Her mother recently passed away, her stepfather is living with them, and then her unpredictable father suddenly reappears. Amidst the chaos of her life, Lila needs to conjure up a fresh book idea, and he...

2.5 stars, rounded down – MEH!! I thought *We All Live Here* by Jojo Moyes would be an "easy, breezy" read – like literary candy. Sadly, this story just didn’t click with me – way too slow and terribly verbose, and also utterly predictable. I skimmed and skipped most of the middle third, and it didn’t even matter when I trudged through the last 10 percent. I didn’t even like the dog 🐶 – ALL the characters were just so annoying and unlikable. Guess I’ll be removing Jojo Moyes from my “auto” list...

This is Jojo Moyes at her absolute finest. The character development is superb; you genuinely start to fall in love with all the intriguing members of the family. "We All Live Here" is a story about how we all stumble and make mistakes, but with time, we learn and grow from them. I honestly wanted to move right in with them, get to know each one, and just bask in the warmth of their love. If you're looking for heartwarming book reviews, add this one to your list!

Absolutely lovely! It's not a book with a massive, twisty plot, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Family dramas are just fun, aren't they? If you're looking for a cozy read, especially something by Jojo Moyes, give "We All Live Here" a try. It's a delightful escape. For more like this, search for 'best family drama books'.

The best character development I've seen in ages!So many fantastic characters! I loved how my feelings about them evolved throughout the book. Jensen had me smiling constantly..."Have you been on many non-dates?" he (Jensen) asks. "Because you might want to work on your opening line."Lila has two daughters, one in high school and one in elementary school, with two very different fathers (well... one's a stepfather). And her husband (the one she was just bragging about in her last book) just left...
