“An engaging, heartwarming tale with larger-than-life characters readers are sure to connect with” (USA Today), from the bestselling author of The Unsinkable Greta James.
“A glorious novel of love in all its forms—familial, romantic, lost, and found. Jennifer E. Smith is a ray of literary sunshine.”—Jenny Jackson, author of Pineapple Street
The four Endicott siblings—Gemma, Connor, Roddy, and Jude—were once inseparable, a bond created by the absence of their dazzling, mercurial mother, who would return for a few weeks each summer to whisk them off on sprawling road trips around the country.
Decades later, the unthinkable has happened: the Endicotts haven’t spoken in years . . . until an out-of-the-blue text arrives from Jude, now a famous actress, summoning them to a small town in North Dakota. They’re each at a crossroads: Gemma, who put her own ambitions aside to raise the others, now isn’t sure if she wants to be a mother herself; Connor, a celebrated novelist, is floundering after his recent divorce and suffering from an epic case of writer’s block; and Roddy, at the tail end of a professional soccer career, is dangerously close to losing his future husband for the chance at one last season.
Jude is the only Endicott who seems to have it all together—but appearances can be deceiving. As the weekend unfolds, and the siblings wrestle with their shared past and uncertain futures, they’ll discover that Jude has been keeping three secrets . . . each of which could change everything.
A captivating journey and an ode to forgiveness that takes listeners across all fifty states, Fun for the Whole Family brims with heart and resonates long after the final word.

The Endicott siblings have all taken different roads in life, and watching them circle back to each other after years apart felt equal parts tender and tense. I loved the premise and the sibling dynamics, those always get me.
The pacing definitely dragged in spots, and I found myself wishing for just a little more emotional depth in the payoffs. But overall, I liked this one. It’s a quiet kind of read, with that comforting reminder of how complicated and unshakable family can be.
3 stars for the sibling moments, road trip drama and messy family drama I’m somehow still not sick of reading.
⭐️⭐️⭐️(3 STARS)
Likable family drama!
