About this ebook
BONUS: This edition contains an excerpt from Caprice Crane's With a Little Luck.
When Layla Brennan married her high school sweetheart, Brett Foster, she finally got the big, loving family she’d always wanted: his. Now she’s closer to Brett’s parents than he is, partners with his sister in a successful pet-photography business, and confidant to his younger brother. She couldn’t be more of a Foster if she’d been born one. There’s just one problem: Brett wants a divorce. Stunned and heartbroken, Layla turns to the Fosters for comfort, only to realize that losing Brett means losing them as well. What else can she do but sue him for the most valuable thing he’s got– namely, his family. Breaking up may be hard to do, but for Layla and Brett it’s even harder to undo.
Fresh, funny, poignant, and brimming with insight into what makes modern families tick–and what can blow them apart–Family Affair proves that in love and war, everything’s relative.

I'm not quite sure that this book was as good as her other books, but it was definitely entertaining and even moving in parts. In the same style as her other novels, the book was littered with music references and witty wordplay. The different perspectives, spanning nearly the entire family, between the chapters kept it fresh and certainly added to the humour. It had some very funny moments, but the plot was, overall, a bit predictable. Perhaps my biggest complaint was how much of an unsympathetic hero Brett became. A lot of energy went into making him unlikable - even his own family seems to prefer Layla - and the arc of his character seemed a bit unbelievable. Still, it was cute and all in all a fun and fast read.
