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!
