okay I loved this book! her work scenes are straight out of Janet Evanovich and her subject matter is sooo heavy, it's a little disconcerting going back and forth from zaniness to tragedy. That said, it is a fun romp with all kinds of satisfying "revenge" stories, things you would just love to see happen, and it's peopled with lots of friends and relatives who are loveable and kind and understanding and PC, just like you'd like your real life friends and fam. to be. The bad ones all get theirs in the end, and the good ones are all well on the way to recovery.
