I DON'T KNOW WHAT MAKES A "NORMAL" FAMILY, but one thing I do know is that when I'm older, I'm going to fall in love and get married just once, for keeps. Hopefully I will marry Ben...and we won't wake up in a daze a year later and be like, I need some space, man...
No wonder Annabel dreams about a happily-ever-after ending for her and her major crush, Ben. Her own family is so mixed up you need a scorecard to keep track of the players. And now Annabel; her mother and baby half sister; her stepbrother Wheaties; her father and his new family, including her stepsister and best friend, Lucy; and -- dramatic pause -- Ben are all in LA for the summer.
"The tone of the novel resembles a juicy note scribbled during class. Cohn's four narrators are pitch perfect."
