Alex Tuchman has been summoned by her mother to her father’s deathbed. He has suffered from a heart attack and the results aren’t good. As she travels to New Orleans to be with her family, Alex reflects on her life growing up. She decides that now is the time to confront her tight-lipped mother Barbra about her father Victor, his secrets, and why they stayed together for so long. Barbra is not ready to answer Alex’s questions, but her questions force her to reflect on the tumult she and Victor went through. Barbra and Alex are left picking up the pieces because Alex’s brother Gary has disappeared. He’s gone quiet and is across the country in Los Angeles working on his movie career. Gary’s wife Twyla is left behind in New Orleans dealing with his family. This family is incredibly dysfunctional. Each family member, plus some outside people, are dragged into dealing with Victor’s complicated history. Even though they are not close, each person will have to figure out how they will move on after Victor eventually passes.<\/p>\n All This Could Be Yours<\/strong><\/em><\/a> is a multi-generational drama told through flashbacks in time. Each member of the family tells their story, plus some random side characters that are also somehow connected to the family. At times I was confused about why certain people were talking and how their stories were relevant. I also found myself wanting to learn more about the family dysfunction and how they ended up the way they are. I spent most of the book wondering what the point was because even though you learn about each family member and their lies, there isn’t a real plot. This title felt on the verge of greatness, but didn’t quite make it there for me.<\/p>\n Next month, we will be reading classics!<\/p>\n In addition to following the Online Reading Challenge here on our Info Cafe blog, you can join our\u00a0Online Reading Challenge group on Goodreads<\/a>\u00a0and discuss your reads!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hello Fellow Challenge Readers!

<\/a>I read our main title:\u00a0All This Could Be Yours<\/strong><\/em><\/a> by Jami Attenberg. When I was picking out a domestic fiction title to read for this month,\u00a0All This Could Be Yours<\/em><\/strong><\/a> caught my attention as it was described as ‘Big Little Lies <\/a><\/em>meets Succession<\/em><\/a>‘. Intriguing, right? Jami Attenberg was also described as ‘the queen of dysfunctional families,’ which also caught my eye! Let’s get into what the book was about and my thoughts.<\/p>\n
