About book Immediate Family (2006)

You’ve read this story before. Four friends from college that stayed friends in life and some major life changing events brings them even closer together. I can’t remember if it was a reunion that brought them together or they never really separated. Either way, it doesn’t really matter. This story worked out a bit too picture perfect for my liking. I do like books with loads of friends though. The life I wish I had. ANYWAY. The book starts with Girl #1 who is an entertainment reporter in Los Angeles and doesn’t know who her father is and her hippie mother finally tells her that the musician in the news for killing an old girlfriend is her father. She sneaks into his house and for some reason, he accepts her quickly. So freakin’ weird. Girl #2 seems fairly normal, but realizes she wants a baby so the wife of her best friend from college (Dude) who is pregnant already, suggests that Dude donate his sperm to Girl #2. Another, so freakin’ weird. Wife ends up loosing the baby and she and Dude end up separating. While Girl #2 is pregnant with Dudes baby, she meets a guy, a friend of Girl #1’s and they have a long distance relationship as she is in NY and he is in LA. Guys that like pregnant girls whose kid isn’t theirs really weirds me out, especially since we have been told all our lives that men freak out about kids, why would you want one that isn’t even yours? I hate shit like this. Of course, Girl #2 and Dude get together. Girl #3 is way upper-class and gets together with the nurse (male, black) of her mothers who is one of those upper-class bougie people. This whole story didn’t really have much to do with the other three, but I think I liked it best, even though the mother tries to get rid of the nurse, because he is in the country as a student anyway. It would have been better if he really had done something wrong, but at the same time, would have been so predictable. The whole book was like one lucky shiny penny to these people, everything worked out for them in the end. Blah.Grade: C-
