When I finished reading What to Do About the Solomons by Bethany Ball, I exhaled. I needed a moment. I realized I’d kind of been holding my breath for the better part of the novel. Not because there are any high-speed car chase scenes but because this family saga pulls no punches. It’s breathtaking in its honest portrayal of the characters and their relationship to each other. Yet it does so with humor and some tenderness.

I reached out to Bethany Ball and she kindly agreed to answer a few questions about her debut novel and the development of the story. Read my interview with Bethany Ball.

Four hearts for this one. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
