The Nest take the readers the a New York of the good people, rich people, with a decadent allure and the Plumb family. The brothers and sisters are four no one of them is full of luck. 
 Leo has an unhappy marriage, he's a cheater and drug addict. 
 Melody is an apprensive housewife. 
 Jack has a terrible financial siuation. 
 Bea is a neary failed writer. 
 Looking at the blurb I assumed that I was going to read something deep, something about a brother, who is definitely not the role model, taking care of his family and save the situation. 
 But Leo is the most useless character of the whole story. Everything seems to goes and moves around him, but he an emotional void of nothingness. 
 It would have been interesting to followe Leo during is growing up. Being an adult man doesn't make you a man and Leo has a lot to learn. 
 But he doesn't. He just damage other people for the whole book, in a deep or more superficial way. 
 He's always ready to run away. 
 The rest of the Plumbs is not another model, but I was not asking for that, They're quite truthful, with all their flaws but at the end of the book, even if they all seem to having find their happines... I don't know. I feel like nothing has really changed. Yes, there are changes but at the same there are not. 
 They're moving but they're immobile. 
 During the Plum's stories also happen to read other characters' stories, that are all sort of interesting but the stories aren't something that I cared about. 
 So, to drag a conclusion, I feel that the core of the problem that made the book not my cup of tea, was how it's written. There're a lot of pages in a way where the show, don't tell goes away, entire pages full of secondary characters's backgrounds. 
 Honestly I would have enjoyed ore reading about the twin daughters of Melody, or to focus onto one and only characters. A lot of narrative could have been resolved with a single dialogue, a face expression or an emotion. 
 In the end? If you love books about families, The Nest is the novel you're searching for but if you're searchinf for something more brutal and emotional... well, skip this read.
