Clearly the title of this book is pretty provocative...perhaps even a little shocking. It's not nearly as racy as you might think though.
Sixteen-year-old Louise Harrison is forced to face the fact that her parents have sex...and not just with each other. And to make matters worse, it's ruining her whole junior year.
This book took me some time to get into. In fact, I read the first couple of chapters and then put it down for a couple of weeks, only picking it back up More...

When Louise’s brother walks in on their father and her best friend Sienna’s mother fooling around, everything in Louise’s life changes – her father moves out, her mother becomes a recluse, and, worst of all, Sienna stops talking to her. As Louise starts to rebuild her life, she becomes stronger, more independent, and an increasingly interesting character to read about. Despite the naughty title, it’s a comparatively chaste read. My Parents are Sex Maniacs focuses on what teenagers can and ca

Probably more like 2.5 stars. There was so freaking much going on, and despite that it was handled well, I wasn't loving the shift in the last section with so much emphasis on the whole Russell/unnamed-boy-so-I-don't-have-to-spoiler-this-stuff/other person love triangle.
Also really thought Louise's mom's secret was going to be a different one!
Liked the friendship stuff, loved Louise figuring out where she belonged. Not necessarily any new ground tread but I liked the emotion More...

Louise Harrison is like most sixteen-year-old girls, self-conscious of herself. Lucky for her, Louise's best friend is Sienna Marshall which keeps her high on the social ladder despite her lack of fashion sense and big-boned figure. Junior year doesn't seem like it's going to turn out so bad when Louise's younger brother catches their dad and Sienna's mom in a very compromising er... position. Louise's world is turned upside down when her family falls apart and everyone places the blame on her d

After reading four books in a row dealing with teen angst, I think it will be nice to read some grown-up books! Not that I didn't love this book, and the main character Louise, because she was super relatable (almost scarily relatable to me in high school). It was a cute story about parents having actual lives and the turmoil friends and boys put you through. It was a fun, quick read and I could see a second book in the future as I would love to read about the craziness of Louise's senior year w

Good, solid fun and not as raunchy as the title might make you think. The barest tinge of Canadian-ness, too.
