One reviewer called this book 'painful and funny'. Probably the best description I could give it without a lot of adjectives that make no sense. Everyone in this family has issues-mental health, breaking up with a boyfriend, not sure if you love the person you're marrying, and just to round it off, Mom is having a raging affair with one of dad's old co-workers. There are some truly funny moments, and it makes you realize that your family is not nearly as crazy (I hope).
