pickMy favorite book of the year! Drew‘s voice is so dryly funny it set me off over and over again. I can‘t get over the reviews interspersed in the text giving it all an over the top feel. Serious “Shameless” vibes made me guffaw on more than one occasion. I loved the fierce protectiveness of the siblings and the insane plan they pulled off together. Amazing! 😂
pickTeen fiction. A little dark but also funny and heart-warming. Two teenage sisters cover up their mom's death so that they and their little brother can stay together instead of being sent to their different fathers. They discover that mom had some shady schemes going. Some things seemed implausible but I enjoyed the story. Good character development and setting.
