This book is basically a story about a family (you may have discerned that already from the title). We follow family Fang who are a foursome comprising of parents Caleb and Camille and adult children Annie and Buster. The story follows the children having to move back to live with their parents for help but it all goes wrong when their parents disappear presumed dead.
The book includes flashback chapters to fill in earlier periods in the family's life that have helped shape their later-selves. However these aren't simply flashbacks but are actually chapters shaped around artworks as created by the artists of the family - Caleb and Camille. These chapters were particularly clever ways for some of the characters of the real-time part of the story to be introduced.
The story is a quirky read with a quirky layout too. I got a little bit confused with some of the logic in the conversation at times but overall I found the book a really good read with a particularly gripping ending.
(I got this book through Amazon Vine. It is listed on Amazon here.)
