Marian did well in creating “masks” for each character, and had to read more to uncover their secrets. I really liked the sassiness of the kids, and how some comments summed up the adult issues well. Liam was such an arrogant twat, and deserved a punch not a slap. However, I did find her quite a vulnerable character, someone who just wanted to be liked, and puts on a front for work and family. Whilst Jessie had a heart of gold, and only wanted best for all of the family, (by splashing the cash), I reckon I’d want to slap her if she was a relative of mine. It’s been a while since I finished it, but flew through it which is normally a good indicator that I enjoyed the book. I liked the different family events, from various perspectives, that led up to the main event, which we knew from the beginning, just unfolding the opening scene chapter by chapter. I chose Grown Ups as my book for March as needed something lighthearted after exam time, also didn’t want to send you all to the madhouse with something too intense.
Hope you’re all keeping well wherever you are in the World, and not gone too Covid crazy!
