Craved American Fantasy's aspirational neuroses and wry family therapy? Meet Claire Lombardo's multigenerational ensemble in The Most Fun We Ever Had.

If American Fantasy gave you permission to laugh at aspirational neuroses while feeling deeply seen, Claire Lombardo's sprawling debut delivers the same wry therapy—only this time across four daughters, two parents, and decades of passive-aggressive holiday dinners. The Sorenson family's lovable dysfunction hums with the same laser-focused prose on interpersonal awkwardness, turning unspoken resentments and midlife dissatisfactions into bingeable emotional payoff.

Lombardo matches Straub's gift for cultural minutiae—domestic rituals, indie Midwestern textures—and deploys family secrets with the satisfying precision of a perfectly timed inheritance twist. It's whip-smart relational comedy that validates your quiet dissatisfactions without judgment.

Pick this up if you need your upper-middle-class ensemble fix served with surgical insight.
