so-so
The best part of this book is the cover.
Beyond that, this was an utterly forgettable novel of a dysfunctional Southern family. I think Crouch was going for quirky in some ways, but it fell flat. And the protagonist is very difficult to like. My favorite character was the step-father who was buffoon-like, but at least seemed realistic. Still, something kept me reading, so I'll give it a lackluster (but generous) 3 stars.
