    Ok, I liked this book, but its not really that interesting. The end is really gross though. It made my arm hurt just thinking about it. I'd give this a ***1/2 out of *****.

    This book spends the first half just telling random stories about her family. The break between chapters is awkward. (I'm talking about how in one chapter they go to a baseball game and suddenly the chapter ends and a new one begins, but it has nothing to do what happened in the last chapter.) I didn't particularly enjoy this one.

    3 out of 5
