Such a Lovely Family by Aggie Blum Thompson
4.0
From the outside, the Calhouns look like another nice, wealthy family, but if you scratch that gleaming surface by even a millimeter, they are a toxic waste dump of crazy.
The parents are manipulative, egomaniac liars. Their three adult children are fifty kinds of stupid, irresponsible, and dreadful. The neighbors are just there for the gossip. Everyone in this book is completely f-ing BANANAS and there are like 9,000 twists and turns and crazy reveals and not a boring second. I usually don't like books where everyone is irredeemably awful -- and Thompson has created an epic cast of truly over-the-top terrible people -- and yet... I LOVED THIS BOOK. I tore through it and had the best time reading it.
Highly recommended for spring break and/or pool/beach reading this summer!
