Welcome to the joyful chaos of the Kennedy household
Reading guide
We All Live Here is a standalone novel.
Lila Kennedy's life is a whirlwind: her ex-husband has moved on, her stepdad Bill lives with her after her mother's death, her eldest daughter Celie has secretly stopped going to school, and her nine-year-old Violet is a whirlwind of inappropriate songs. When her estranged father Gene, an American actor, suddenly appears, old wounds resurface, but his presence sparks unexpected changes that might just mend their fractured family.

Description

Step into the wonderfully chaotic world of the Kennedy family in Jojo Moyes' latest heartwarming contemporary novel, We All Live Here. This number one Sunday Times bestseller blends women's fiction, romance, and family life into a story that is as laugh-out-loud funny as it is tenderly moving. Lila Kennedy once wrote the book on keeping a marriage alive, only to find her own world falling apart when her ex-husband moves on with another woman she sees daily. Now sharing her home with her two daughters, her kind but exasperating stepdad Bill, and a mischievous dog named Truant, Lila thinks she has her hands full - until her estranged father Gene, an American actor and lifelong disruptor, turns up unannounced.

What follows is a beautifully observed tale of second chances, forgiveness, and the messy business of holding a family together. Gene's presence shakes the household, but also brings unexpected connections: the girls discover a kindred spirit, Bill loosens up for the first time in years, and Lila even dares to start dating again. With its sharp wit, warmth, and Moyes' signature ability to capture the inner lives of women, We All Live Here is a love letter to imperfect families everywhere. Fans of authors like Marian Keyes and Sophie Kinsella will relish this honest, uplifting exploration of what it means to rewrite your own story.
