The Most Fun We Ever Had is the story of a Chicago family of 4 sisters, Wendy, Violet, Liza, and Grace, over the course of 1 year. Interwoven into that story is the story of their past beginning with how their parents met. The sisters experience highs and lows and the revelation of a secret adoption 15 years ago and the introduction of that child to the family. It is part salacious fun and part typical family saga and very white. This book was 4 stars for fun and maybe a bit less for writing. It seemed longer than it needed to be, and that's not just because we are all used to instant gratification. I am impressed with Lombardo's ability to keep a lot of plates spinning in the air though. I would recommend this book to people who like dysfunctional family stories, sister stories, and a bit of humor in their novels and aren't intimidated by 500 pages. I listened to this on audio, and Emily Rankin did a great job with the material.
