Summary: Fun Read
Review: This was a really fun book! Just the right speed for the story, and a wonderful look at how mixed up families can be at times. I enjoyed the pace of the book and the writing style. There were parts that made me giggle and I even gasped at one revelation in the story.

All in all a good read, I will read more by this author.

Summary: Funny and Endearing
Review: Wendy French has a great talent for creating a cast of amusingly flawed family members and a host of office cube ninnies with wit and sarcasm. In today's day of telemarketing, the main character holds one of those most-hated jobs, relegated to calling people who don't want to be bothered. She reminds us that telemarketers, too, are humans, although treated like "livestock" on a slaughter line. Somehow she takes the story of a young woman's pathetic circumstance and turns it into a satirical sitcom that is well worth the time to sit and read. I thoroughly enjoyed being entertained by French's refreshing storytelling in this wonderful tale of comedic woe or woeful comedy. A feel-good book!
