The Nest – Cynthia D’April Sweeney (2016)

 ❤️💔

I chose The Nest as a Book Club selection for my Book Club. The Nest follows The Plumb family – a selfish, dysfunctional family consisting of Melody, Leo, Beatrice, Jack and their mother Francie. The Nest itself, is a nest egg account with their inheritance from their late, successful father, who by all accounts, and all common sense, would have found the five members of his family to be severely wanting. They are selfish, back stabbing, and egotistical. I am sure that some readers will find this delicious, but I did not feel connected to any of the characters, excepting Bea. It is an easy, beach style read, and if you do not have the time or energy to focus on a book continually, this is a good choice.

Originally intended to simply focus on book reviews, over time, KaliDesautelsReads has morphed into its own entity. I write about issues that are near to my heart, be they political, feminist, motherhood, mental health, or, as the title holds, books. A thirty-something Canadian woman in my mid-thirties, I have been "super married" to my high school sweetheart since 2006, and together we have two crazy, clever, kind, hilarious, wonderful kids. My first book - How Not To Blog: Finding Myself, One Post at a Time is available on Amazon (in eBook formats for you clever tech readers, and paperback for those of us who love that new book smell!) I have tried a podcast - it's still on Apple and Google Podcasts - but writing is where my heart is. My life changed dramatically when my husband was diagnosed with Stage 3 cancer in 2018, and I am now a writer for a leading Canadian Cancer Non-Profit. I am lucky enough to have a family that loves me and pushes me to be my best, even if it is outside of my cushiony comfort zone. I have a village of friends that nourish me, mentally, and spiritually. Welcome to my thoughts. Sit down. Stay a while. Enjoy a cup of coffee!
