Whoever wrote that review saying it was funny and wonderful needs to go get their head checked. What was funny about this exactly? This is a 30-something alcoholic woman whose father kills himself, whose mother refuses to communicate with, whose brother decided to date the girl he KNEW she was in a relationship with already and had a kid with, whose ex's mom tried to abuse, and whose ex abandoned her and her family after two timing her with her brother. This was sad and messed up. No one communicated and they all are emotionally constipated. Nothing funny about this at all
