I read a review that described this as "zany and fun," but I guess we're allowed to have differences of opinion about what's funny. A woman with painful social anxieties struggles to deal with truly disturbed relatives, and comes within a hair of developing sepsis from a neglected stab wound. I kept hoping something positive would happen to her, but the closest she got to that was the absence of immediate catastrophes.The book felt like an invitation to heartburn to me.
