Welcome to the Kennedy household:
Lila wrote a bestseller about keeping your marriage alive, before discovering her ex was playing happy families with another woman. A woman she sees everyday at school pick-up.
Bill, her stepdad, moved in after Lila’s mum died. He’s kind, old-fashioned and driving her absolutely nuts.
Celie, Lila’s eldest, hates school. Hates it so much she’s stopped going. Her mother’s fine with that – because she doesn’t know yet.
Violet is nine and sings age-inappropriate rap songs, laughs at fart jokes and Lila dearly hopes she’ll never, ever change.
And Truant the dog, who has just bitten the American actor who’s suddenly landed on the Kennedys' doorstep.
This is Gene – Lila’s estranged father, and no one’s idea of a role model. He walked out on Lila and her mum years ago – and wherever he goes domestic discord follows.
Because Gene’s presence changes things in unexpected ways. Soon the girls discover a kindred spirit in a man always chasing life’s joy. Bill even loosens up. And Lila finds herself, astonishingly, dating.
Something is happening to the Kennedy household – but what is it?
And will it break, or save, their family?

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Lila Kennedy has a lot to contend with in this warm, wise new novel by beloved bestselling author Jojo Moyes. Her marriage has broken down, she’s mother to two wayward daughters and she’s exasperated by her elderly, lentil-loving stepfather, who seems to have quietly moved in with them. When her estranged father suddenly appears on her doorstep 35 years after running off to Hollywood, it feels like the last straw, but she must try to learn to make the chaos of this new blended family work. We All Live Here is a family drama with laugh-out-loud moments and countless details we all recognise in our own lives, from cringeworthy interactions at the school gates to awkward intergenerational dynamics. Its multidimensional characters and the sense of joy underpinning all the mayhem make it a life-affirming read.
