I finished this in one day! I thought it was a lovely and endearing story! Love how all the main character starts to mature and starts to forgive her family! I liked the incorporation of George Clooney in the book! I learnt that we should not hold grudges against people because that will affect your life more and not to interfere in anybody's love life because only they know who is truly right for them! When Violet's dad leaves her mom for a young buxom blonde, Violet's mother starts wearing clothing that's too tight and dating losers. Her sister starts wetting the bed. And Violet herself is angry and (to some) unpleasant. A funny story despite its sad premise, Nielsen's novel made me tear up in her portrayal of divorce and its effects on children (and parents); but it also made me smile as it was full of hope and love despite the mess.
This is a LOL book!!! I love Cosmo! and i can't believe he gets married!!
