I was looking for a break from my everyday genre, and this book was recommended.
This book had me laughing almost the whole time! The characters in this story all have their own little quirks.
Grandma Helen was my absolute favorite. She was definitely a character. And I can't forget Nana with her paintings. Both of these women were a hoot! They were all great characters but these 2 will stay with me for awhile.
The family dynamic and their interactions with each other was so hysterical at times I had to be careful not to laugh too loud as I was reading this late into the night.
If you are looking for a funny, laughing out loud, belly laugh kind of book, this one is for you.
I can't wait for Tiffany's next book!

This book took sarcasm to a whole new level!
It's a witty, funny story told through the eyes of Addie, a sixteen-year-old living with her dysfunctional family.
Her outrageous Grandma Helen wants to live her entire life in the limelight and drags the whole family into amusing situations. Addie's mother, Olivia, homeschools her children, and her moods swing from snippy to just about coping by having another drink, and back again. Throw in two sarcastic sons, and a mother-in-law who sells her finished paint by numbers as works of art, and you have some of the delightfully dysfunctional characters of the Jenkins family.
Taking a break from the thriller books I usually read, this was a welcome light-hearted change. And as someone who loves using sarcasm throughout my daily life, I have also learnt some hilarious new phrases!
