Mi familia
I never have read so many books about the same people. I grew to really like them and the true to life emotions that arose in their journey to adulthood and beyond. Each story was unique and explained the background in a natural, not draggy way. Two things stood out. These people were all bordering on or actual alcoholics. Never saw so much drinking in a story before. The other thing that irked me was Janie's personality. Too much, too provocative, but then I thought...I'll bet there are people like that, and I did like the way the main character stood up to her eventually. I liked that there were no deaths, no accidents, no torrid love scenes, just happy ending stories. It was a nice vacation for me. Now back to the serial killers, mysteries, and occasionally a time travel book.
