This book is fantastic. It's laugh out loud funny (primarily due to Lou, but really, her whole family is perfection) and it's insanely relatable.
This book is for everyone who struggled after college or who feels like everyone else has their life completely together and why didn't we get that memo, too? (So, in short, for everyone.)
The biggest achievement, though, is the way that these characters transcend tropes. It would be so easy to make Lou or her mom laughingstocks. (Her mom, especially, is a larger than life character, but she doesn't feel campy at all.) It's impossible not to love these people.
I have hopes for companion novels from Lou's sister Val and definitely from their mom. I am not ready to leave the Hansens behind. (Please don't make me.)

I really wanted to like this book. The humour was the type I read, the concept so real but with so much potential. But due to careless issues I just couldn't.
Firstly, all the characters are so "Californian". I don't really know if this is enjoyable for Californians but after a few jokes it got redundant for me. There are only so many jokes you can make about algae shots and plastic surgery.
The Natasha mini plot line was so gross. That's literally it. It tried to bring some... depth? I don't know. But it was literally what is wrong with the world exemplified through like a Californian. I hated it beyond words. Completely unnecessary.
Other than that, the story line was engaging and the dialogue was cute. I feel like it could have been shorter over all though.
