In this episode, we read the book "A Friend of the Family" by Lisa Jewell. Since it was listed as the top selling novel by the author and also New York Time Bestseller, we chose this book by the author.
Three brothers, three unique sets of problems. Tony is divorced, overweight, and romancing a woman he thinks is "too happy." Sean is the middle child, a successful novelist with a "perfect" new girlfriend who throws him a curveball announcement he cannot deal with. Ned, the youngest, has just returned from three years in Australia and finds that his friends have all moved on to grown-up lives and careers and left him behind. Their parents, Bernie and Gerry, are happily married and the cornerstone of their sons' lives. Bernie takes in a mysterious lodger, Gervase, who seems to be able to get to the heart of the boys' troubles and helps the men to see things more clearly about themselves.
