A dazzling, multigenerational novel in which the four adult daughters of a Chicago couple — still madly in love after forty years — recklessly ignite old rivalries until a long-buried secret threatens to shatter the lives they've built.

"Everything about this brilliant debut cuts deep: the humour, the wisdom, the pathos. Claire Lombardo writes like she's been doing it for a hundred years, and like she's been alive for a thousand."   -  Rebecca Makkai, author of The Great Believers

At a family wedding, the four Sorenson sisters polka-dot the green lawn in their summer pastels, with varying shades of hair and varying degrees of unease. Their long-infatuated parents watch on with a combination of love and concern. Sixteen years later, the already messy lives of the sisters are thrown into turmoil by the unexpected reappearance of a teenage boy given up for adoption years earlier - and the rich and varied tapestry of the Sorensons' past is revealed.

"A rich, engrossing family saga, spiked with sisterly malice... [rendered] with such skill and finely tuned interest that it feels like a quiet subversion of the traditional family saga."  -  The New York Times Book Review

Weaving between past and present, The Most Fun We Ever Had portrays the delights and difficulties of family life and the endlessly complex mixture of affection and abhorrence we feel for those closest to us.  A dazzlingly accomplished debut and an utterly immersive portrait of one family's becoming, it marks the arrival of a major new literary voice.

"A wonderfully immersive read that packs more heart and heft than most first novels…A deliciously absorbing novel with — brace yourself — a tender and satisfyingly positive take on family."  -  Heller McAlpin, NPR
