I was gifted an e-copy of this book in exchange for an open and honest review to form part of the virtual book tour.

Must be honest, i'm not the biggest fan of the cover - but what is that famous saying again? oh yeah - don't judge a book by it's cover.

The early stages of the book were funny and a very entertaining read but I didn't really understand the purpose or the emergence of the main story line. Shortly, this changed and I was immediately hooked in to the book.

I love the mystery that threaded itself throughout the story and the family pulls along the way. The characters were all very well developed and I felt a very good attachment to them all, which is quite rare for me.

The language, humour and writing style with Dave adopted throughout this book was right up my street. Probably wouldn't be suitable for a younger audience due to language and sexual references.

Another aspect I enjoyed was Parker's thoughts in italics throughout the book. This really added to her likability and understanding of her personality - for me anyway.

I gave this book a 4 stars out of 5. I would recommend. Narrowly missed out on the 5 start rating due to the slower than necessary start.
