This is a fast paced and thought provoking read, that shows how friendships can be impacted upon life’s events. The different POVs really added to the story.

This was such a great story - hard to read because it is so real and truthful. If you or someone close to you has been a victim of rape, this may be a hard story for you.

I feel like Caitlin Weaver did such a good job of showing the perspective of everyone involved and effected by Knox and Summer's relationship. This story showed how one incident can change so many peoples lives.

It would have been a five chair for me, but I thought Caitlin Weaver could have come up with some other words beside "f" to show the emotions. In spite of this I am interested in reading another book by her.

This was a tough read at times because it was relatable for me. However, I think it was incredibly done.

The story itself was really impactful and made you self reflect a lot. Thinking about how one accusation can affect not only the accused but really an entire community. Everyone connected to the incident becomes involved as soon as it becomes public. This in itself is why so many people probably stay silent, yes, but at the same time when it’s true it needs to said and a huge impact should be made.

Such a Good Family
By Caitlyn Weaver
Review and Rating 3 ⭐️

Such a Good Family is the story of Lorrie and Eden, best friends and neighbors, that is until their perfect lives are torn apart by a rape accusation. This book moves right along but is really more of a domestic drama than a thriller. I liked the story and was especially impressed that this was a debut novel. I look forward to reading more of Ms. Weaver’s work in the future. 3⭐️⭐️⭐️

I want to thank #Netgalley and Storm Publishing for the ARC. All opinions expressed in this review are my own.

Wow this book was fast paced, and i loved the fact that each chapter was for a different character in the story. The plot was amazing and it made you seen what the consequences of one's actions could cause, Loved Archie! The dynamics betweens the best friends Lorrie and Eden was good and it made you see how friendships can be stretched. Really good story . would recommend to friends

Lorrie and Eden are next door neighbors and best friends. Their families spend holidays together, and their kids grew up together and eventually Lorrie's son Knox begins dating Eden's daughter Summer. They always wanted this to happen and are happy they're together. But then, Summer accuses Knox of rape and everything changes.

I was intrigued by the plot and drama, and felt that the first half of the story had me pulled in. But the ending left me wanting more. Many of the characters were hard to like, and it was difficult for me to sympthatize with Eden, who had a good backstory and motive but made some questionable decisions.

Woof. I thought this was going to be a typical domestic thriller. Boy was I wrong. This was a gut wrenching family drama. Even calling it that feels like I am trivializing the topics at hand. This was a deep look into how one event can change the trajectory of the lives of many people. I don’t want to spoil anything but just know it’s heavy all around. Each character has their own wounds and their own journey that we go on with them through their POVs, which I loved.

3.5⭐️⭐️⭐️✨

I really enjoyed the raw emotion in this story and the raw emotion you felt from it! Truly a realistic story you can relate to how they are feeling. A book I will go back and think about often.

Such a Good Family" by Caitlin Weaver is a heartwarming story of a dysfunctional family coming together to support each other during a difficult time. The characters are well-developed and relatable, and the plot is engaging and emotional. Weaver's writing style is engaging and keeps the reader hooked from beginning to end. Overall, this book is a must-read for anyone who enjoys family dramas with a touch of humor and hope.

This book was a page turner for me but I was a little disappointed by the end of the book and how it ended. It seemed to end abruptly and I wanted to know more about the characters.

Trigger Warning: Rape & Sexual Assault & Mental Health
Although a difficult topic to read about, I found the author did a fantastic job demonstrating the impact and reality (justice system) of sexual assault. One criticism I did have was it was hard to follow the timeline at the start of the book (flashbacks, flash forwards) and let's be real...the parents sucked. But, I do appreciate how we got to see the impacts it has on everyone in the future. Overall, a hard and heartbreaking read. Archie also deserved better throughout this book and glad he got a good ending for the most part. Thank you to NetGalley, Caitlin Weaver and Storm Publishing for the ARC.

Juicy. Entertaining. Addictive. These are three words that immediately come to mind when describing SUCH A GOOD FAMILY by Caitlin Weaver. This novel really sucked me in, book friends. It was impossible to put down, and I couldn’t help but binge it in just a few sittings.

The lives of two families are turned upside-down and all around after an incident occurs at a high school party. Parents of teenagers absolutely need to read this book. The topics explored are eye-opening, thought-provoking, sensitive, and heavy, which made my emotions run high. I loved the build-up of tension between the two families, and witnessing what a parent is willing to do in order to protect their child.

5/5 juicy stars for SUCH A GOOD FAMILY!

A fantastic debut novel so hard to put down once you start. I found this such an addictive read! I will definitely be looking for future books by this author.

Oh, WOW I didn’t realise this was a debut, this book was emotional and heart wrenching. I think this a gripping domestic thriller full of secrets and betrayal, I enjoyed the multiple POV, so you hear each character’s side of the story, and the character development was brilliant. The way that Weaver kept the story intriguing I was constantly wondering if we knew the whole truth. After that ending I don’t think I will forget this book in a long time. I am eagerly awaiting the next Caitin Weaver book.

This is a debut? No way this was exceptional. The character development, the emotions, the rawness, and the secrets. It’s crazy how something so devastating can change the lives of so many.

I love how the author made each adult character maybe even the children as well, be not perfect characters. Each person made decisions that made you say, really bro? I.e. Eden in the hospital. I’m still mad about that!

This was so raw and realistic. I felt the emotions of both mothers and their damaged friendship.

That ending almost made me cry.

This is more of a domestic drama than a thriller. It was definitely engaging and interesting, but I just felt like it went on a little too long and it dragged at some point. A good book for a discussion in a book club.

This book grabbed me right from the get go. This story comes from multiple perspectives and allows the reader to really wonder how objective they would be if their family member was put in a traumatic position. This story does have a TRIGGER WARNING of rape, so be mindful as you dive in. I absolutely loved that this book jumped around form person to person to help understand what really happen. Great work Weaver!! This was a quick read although had amazing content, so I didn't ever feel like I was going without. This was a very emotional book, causing an internal inventory of thoughts, feelings, biases, and more. I found myself siding with one person then really examined what was coming up for me in that moment to pull that way. I would highly recommend this excellent work that helps you do. a deeper dive into your own personal defenses.
Huge thank you to NetGalley, Caitlin Weaver, and Storm Publishing for this 10 our 10 work.

I started this novel full of excitement but was a little disappointed. The characters were flat and stereotypical. The author didn’t really give reasons why Knox would be addicted to porn, or why he wouldn’t ask for help with his mental problems. The neighborhood was similarly stereotypical and it was hard at first to keep everyone’s name in order. Lorrrie was the type A former lawyer who is now a stay at home mom. Eden is the gorgeous ex-model with a difficult last. These 2 ladies are supposedly the best of friends and yet they turn on each other immediately. The husbands of both women are flat. Ed is a popular doctor who is cheating and smarmy. Witt, on the other hand , is the best and only wants to please his wife. The premise of this novel is good but u fortunately never came to fruition

This was such a thought provoking emotional book. I really enjoyed it. Author Catlin Weaver gives voice to such a sensitive subject matter and handles it with such thoughtfulness. As a boy mom this subject hit me particularly hard. How would I handle this situation? There are so many people affected by this subject matter and so many lives were forever changed. This book really fleshed out all the different emotions and sides to this story. Definitely recommend especially for book clubs!
