We All Live Here by JoJo Moyes

 Poor Lila. She just published a book on how to sustain a happy marriage when her husband Dan announces that he's leaving for the (younger) single mom down the street. Lila and her 2 daughters are devastated--and she's professionally mortified since she clearly had no clue her marriage was on the rocks when she wrote her book. Then her newly widowed stepdad, Bill, moves in because he's lonely. He starts cooking a lot of meals involving lentils and fish. Then Lila's estranged father, actor Gene, shows up because his girlfriend kicked him out and he has no place to go. Since Bill thinks Gene mistreated their now departed wife, Francesca, he can't stand being around him much less living in the same house with him. At one point, Bill is loudly playing the piano to drown out Gene watching a video of an old TV show he starred in while Jensen, the hunky gardener that Bill hired to fix up the garden, is in the backyard breaking up concrete. Lila is trying to have a conference call with her editor about her next book--the fee for which she really needs now that she's supporting this large household. And oh by the way, Dan called to suggest that maybe Lila should sell the house because his mistress is now pregnant, he has to cut his support payments to Lila and the girls, and he needs to buy a new house for his growing family. You can see why Lila is a little stressed. Will Lila ever find 5 minutes of peace and quiet in her own home? Will she and the hunky gardener get together? Will Bill ever stop cooking lentils? And what role does hunky single-dad Gabriel play in the proceedings? You'll have to tune in and find out.

You do hope Lila finds income, love, and quiet because she is trying so hard to support everyone else.
