183 Times a Year
183 Times a Year | Eva Jordan
3 posts | 2 read | 5 to read
Mothers and daughters alike will never look at each other in quite the same way after reading this book—a brilliantly funny observation of contemporary family life. Lizzie—exasperated Mother of Cassie, Connor and Stepdaughter Maisy—is the frustrated voice of reason to her daughters’ teenage angst. She gets by with good friends, cheap wine and talking to herself—out loud. 16-year-old Cassie—the Facebook-Tweeting, Selfie-Taking, Music and Mobile Phone obsessed teen—hates everything about her life. She longs for the perfect world of Chelsea Divine and her 'undivorced' parents—and Joe, of course. However, the discovery of a terrible betrayal and a brutal attack throws the whole household into disarray. Lizzie and Cassie are forced to reassess the important things in life as they embark upon separate journeys of self-discovery—accepting some less than flattering home truths along the way. Although tragic at times this is a delightfully funny exploration of domestic love, hate, strength and ultimately friendship. A poignant, heartfelt look at that complex and diverse relationship between a Mother and daughter set amongst the thorny realities of today’s divided and extended families.

Meet Lizzie. Lizzie is self proclaimed feminist. Lizzie is a feminist who will fight and argue for female equality, she will fight for immigrants, in fact Lizzie will fight literally anything and all the while she will internally criticize the appearance of everyone she meets. Lizzie is vile.
The cutest cover, the most disappointing book.

Filled with a wide variety of quirky characters, this book is about relationships and how people find each other, and their way and purpose in this world. At the beginning, many of the characters were very self absorbed and difficult to like. After a horrible tragedy struck, the whole tone of the story changed and deepened. The characters began to relate to each other in more meaningful ways and I began to care for them. A book worth reading.
