4.5

This book is philosophical and hilarious, with a main character who talks to squirrels and is feeling wobbly about her upcoming wedding. With memorable and ultimately lovable characters, the novel asks why we love who we love, and how to deal with families of origin—as in “Little Miss Sunshine,” no one gets left behind. Can’t wait to read another novel by Mckenzie!
