2 posts | 3 read | 2 to read
Hilarious, heartbreaking, and sneaky suspenseful, Just Do This One Thing for Me is a timely novel about a rule-following daughter trying to hold her family together after her scammer mother disappears. Just do this one thing for me. Drew's mother says it more often than good morning. Heidi Hill has been juggling shady side hustles for all of Drews seventeen years, and Drew knows that one thing really means all the necessary things her mother thinks are boring, including taking care of her fifteen-year-old sister and eight-year-old brother. In fact, Drew is the closest thing to a responsible adult theyve ever known. When their mother disappears on the way to a New Years Eve concert in Mexico and her schemes start unraveling, Drew is faced with a choice: Follow the rules, do the responsible thing, and walk away--alone--from her mother's mess. Or hope the weather stays cold, keep the cons going, and just maybe hold her family together.

My 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! 😂

Teen 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.
