Yuck! I hated it. I rushed the reading as much as possible to get it over with.

A reviewer for Romantic Times described the book as follows. "crude, quick language" and "Readers will delight in the everybody's-thinking-it style statements made by the characters." I did not enjoy the crude language at all. Two examples follow: Nicole's mother had died of cancer and Nicole took care of her before she died. Christina asked "you took care of her?" Nicole replied "No, I slammed her a__ in a nursing home." Another example: Nicole is eating dinner and says "sh__ I dropped one of my eight forks." I'm ok with foul language used in appropriate and/or stressful situations, but this author used it constantly within everyday conversation. It irritated and annoyed me. I don't respect or feel comfortable with these types of people, and I certainly don't find it humorous. I don't care to read a story about them. In addition, there was no interesting character development other than Nicole being rude to most people. Most of the book consisted of conversation with very little time spent on plot, and what plot there was was too simple. The plot for the first 76 pages of the book consisted of the family's attempts to get Nicole to submit to a DNA blood test. Not much time was spent on Jeffrey, the male protagonist. The description of him on the back cover almost told me more than the book did about him. I would have liked to have seen more of him and less of the rude, bratty, food throwing family members. I imagine there are some readers who would find this book funny, but not me.
