Usually if there is an odd number of people, someone feels left out. Growing up, that person was Muriel. It was always obvious that her older sister Pia was her mom's favorite. Brother Logan was of course her father's favorite. They are all grown up now but the favoritism hasn't ended. That's okay. Muriel is doing okay with her life. She likes her job and her apartment is all right even if she has to walk up four flights to get to it. Pia is off living in Connecticut with the perfect husband, daughter and house. The last thing Muriel wants is for Pia to come into the city for a visit. Talk about stress! But she can't put her off. Muriel is shocked to find out that Pia has been keeping a big secret and has come to ask Muriel for a big favor.
During the course of her life Muriel has known lots of family secrets and she always kept them to herself. As she tries to help Pia there are lots of flashbacks to explain how this dysfunctional family got to that point. I enjoyed the book. It kept my interest from beginning to end.
