We All Live Here: A Novel
The #1 New York Times bestselling author, whose books so many love, brings us a fresh, contemporary story of a woman and her unruly blended family

“Nobody writes women the way Jojo Moyes does.” -Jodi Picoult


Lila Kennedy has a lot on her plate. A broken marriage, two wayward daughters, a house that is falling apart, and an elderly stepfather who seems to have quietly moved in. Her career is in freefall and her love life is . . . complicated. So when her real dad-a man she has barely seen since he ran off to Hollywood thirty-five years ago-suddenly appears on her doorstep, it feels like the final straw. But it turns out even the family you thought you could never forgive might have something to teach you: about love, and what it actually means to be family.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

Praise for We All Live Here:

“No one writes women of a certain age better than Jojo Moyes—reminding us that we matter, even when the world tries to make us invisible. It takes a master of the craft to catalog the messy vicissitudes of life in a way that both haunts and validates the reader’s own experiences, and her latest novel proves that there is no time like the present to rewrite one’s own story.”
—Jodi Picoult, #1 New York Times–bestselling author of By Any Other Name


“Jojo Moyes is as wise, funny, and glorious as ever with We All Live Here. She never ever disappoints.”
—Lisa Jewell, #1 New York Times–bestselling author of None of This Is True


“Warm, witty, and wonderful. We All Live Here is a story of family and friendship, of love, compassion, and, most importantly, a timely reminder of what truly matters most. The kind of book you smile at while reading.”
—Chris Whitaker, New York Times–bestselling author of All the Colors of the Dark

“Hilarious . . . believable and funny . . . Moyes combines the warmth of an Annabel Monaghan rom-com with the humanity of a Catherine Newman novel, creating a story that will provoke tears and laughter. [We All Live Here is] a moving, realistic look at one woman’s postdivorce family life that manages to be both poignant and funny.”
Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

“Bighearted and funny, a story about mistakes, forgiveness, and moving on . . . about family—what defines it, how it morphs, how it hurts us, how it sustains us.”
—Star Tribune


We All Live Here is so funny, touching, and full of wisdom: Jojo Moyes at her very best.”
—Sophie Kinsella, New York Times–bestselling author of The Burnout

★ 2024-11-09
A recently divorced writer juggles a chaotic full house, a struggling career, and a confusing romantic life.

Lila Kennedy thought she had the perfect family—a loving mother, a doting stepfather, two wonderful daughters, and a great husband. She even wrote a self-help book about repairing a marriage, which was published a mere two weeks before her husband left her. After her own mother’s sudden death, Lila finds herself an unexpected single mom with her health-nut stepfather, Bill, for a roommate. When her long-absent actor father, Gene, moves in, things go from crowded to chaotic. When Gene isn’t talking about his memories of starring on aStar Trek–like television show, he’s starting fights with Bill. Perhaps the worst part is that Lila’s supposed to produce a new book about the unexpected direction her life has taken. She quickly finds that writing about her real-life romantic exploits (including the kind gardener Bill hired and the sexy single dad she lusts after at school pick-up) and the actual heartbreak that upended her family is easier said than done. Moyes creates a world that is believable and funny. It’s hilarious to read about the distinct characters in Lila’s life—such as her lentil-loving stepfather and egocentric biological father—interacting with each other. There’s plenty of drama here, but none of it feels forced. It all comes from flawed people doing their best to coexist and making plenty of mistakes along the way. Moyes combines the warmth of an Annabel Monaghan rom-com with the humanity of a Catherine Newman novel, creating a story that will provoke tears and laughter.

A moving, realistic look at one woman’s post-divorce family life that manages to be both poignant and funny.
