I read chapter 7 and 8. I like the way she has the personalities of each family member so vivid (in fact, I can see some of each in my own family). Its a story about the drama of frum living, busy with work, school, errands, working spouses, ect.
But what I do not like, is the way the writer links every issue to some dark secret in the persons past which is the true cause for the way they are reacting to a given challenge. Can’t sit down to a meal if the salad fork is on the wrong side? Its because you were traumatized as a child. Afraid to develope a relationship with your sister-in-laws? Its because you were not picked for the lead role in the school play.
I’m not saying the salad fork and school play was not important. But to suggest that the frum audience (presumably the one this series is bening written for) is that fragile? C’mon.
All in all, a nice series, with real characters. But ease off on the phsyco-babble
