If you’re looking for a plot-driven novel, One Whole and Perfect Day isn’t it. However, if you love stories about people and what makes them who they are—especially what makes them a family—you just might love this story. There are too many coincidences for the ending to be a surprise but it’s so satisfying you don’t mind. There’s Lilly, who craves a normal life. Her brother is in and out of schools, driving their grumpy, possibly racist, grandfather to near madness. Her dad left before Lilly was born and her mum, well, she has a good heart even if she does bring home the occasional lame duck. Toss in her grandmother who has an invisible friend and you have just about half the characters in this book. I loved it but if you need the excitement of a murder mystery, pass this one by.
