I am a sucker for dysfunctional family stories and so I grabbed the galley of this the moment it arrived.

The majority of this book was really fun.  The characters were messes of people (which I love) and the interactions were awkward (perfect)!  But then there was a huge twist, which I saw coming from miles away.  In fact, I wish that the book had gone with the red herring plot line rather than the twist.  That would have been more surprising and made for a better story, in my opinion.  That said, Hornak did manage to surprise me with a plot point after the twist so at least all was not lost.

This is a great, light holiday read.  Perfect for someone who just needs to escape from hanging out with the family.
