Sonia is looking for more like “This Is Us” (the TV series). She gives a couple of examples of books that have a similar feel, to her. Have any suggestions?

She asks:

RE: “This is us-like” books

When you watch This is us. Yes Jack Pearson the glue of the family. But I like the more family/cozy vibe of the book.

I want to read a book like the show. In my personal opinion I think Sweet Gum tree by Katherine Allred is a close touch.

The main character doesn’t need to die. But there needs to be other stories.

Like another book series would be Boys of Tommen by Chloe Walsh.

Anyone have a recommendation?

ONE OF MY 4.5-STAR FAVORITES!!

The Sweet Gum Tree

ONE OF MY 4.5-STAR FAVORITES!!

"...Through childhood disasters and teenage woes they cling together as friendship turns to love. The future looks rosy until the fateful night when Frank Anderson, Nick’s abusive father, is shot to death in his filthy trailer. 

Suddenly, Nick is gone, leaving Alix alone, confused and pregnant. For the next fifteen years she wrestles with the pain of Nick’s abandonment, a bad marriage, her family and friends. But finally, she’s starting to get her life back together. Her divorce is almost final, her business is booming, and she’s content if not happy—until the day she looks up and sees Nick standing across the counter. He’s back, and he’s not alone..."

P.S. Here's my book review.
