"Nancy Harrison is running for Senate, and she's going to win, goddamnit. Not that that's her slogan, although it could be. She's said all the right things. Passed all the right legislation. Chapped her lips kissing babies. There's just one problem: her grown children. Greta and Nick Harrison are adrift. Nick is floundering in his attempts to write a musical about the life of Joan Didion (called Hello to All That!). And then there's his little sister Greta. Smart, pretty, and completely unmotivated, allowing her life to pass her by like the shoppers at the Apple store where she works. One morning the world wakes up not to Nancy making headlines, but her daughter, Greta. She's in Paris. With extremist protestors. Throwing a bottle of champagne through a beloved bistro's front window. In order to save her campaign, not to mention her daughter, Nancy and Nick must find Greta before it's too late. Smart, funny and tear-jerking, Let's Not Do That Again proves that, like democracy, family is a messy, fragile thing"--… (mehr)

Hysterical but the weak ending leaves a bad taste in the reader's mouth. ( )

Family drama *and* politics? It’s a bit trashy, but I’m there for it. Read my thoughts here. ( )
  joyblue | Feb 3, 2023 |
One of Grant's novels (The People We Hate at the Wedding) has been turned into a movie, and this book felt as if he wrote it with that fate in mind. He's a cinematic writer, which makes sense out of all the details that otherwise might seem like overwriting. But, it was a good, fast read except for the improbable and out-of-character ending. ( )

When Nancy Harrison’s husband died in a car accident almost 20 years ago, she ran for his Congressional seat, won, and then never looked back. Now she wants to be a Senator, and in the last weeks of the race finds herself neck-and-neck with an ex-television action show actor. Told in short chapters that revolve focus on Nancy, her “difficult” daughter, Greta, her “perfect” son, Nick, her campaign manager, and a few other side characters, Let’s Not Do That Again by Grant Ginder is part political thriller, part family drama, and pretty darn funny. I really enjoyed this book up until the unfortunate ending which turned a solid four-star book into a three, but it’s still worth the time for readers who enjoy witty, contemporary family novels. ( )

I really enjoyed this story of the Harrison family - Nancy, the mother running for Senate, Nick, the good son and Greta, the difficult daughter. It was interesting and funny with lots of family drama. It reads like a movie and I won't be surprised when I hear a movie based on the book is being made. I really like Grant Ginder's writing style and look forward to reading his other books. Thanks to Goodreads for the ARC. ( )
