Caddy Ever After by Hilary McKay

4.0

This is the fourth in a series of award-winning books about the eccentric Casson family in modern-day Britain. The parents are both artists, and live separate lives. Father (Darling Bill) is studious, neat and professional, and very distant from his more rambunctious and untidy family. Eve, the mother, is very unmotherly in many ways, paying little attention to house-keeping or cooking, and very much letting the kids fend for themselves, though she is very loving and encouraging. This book revolves around the eldest, Caddy, who is getting over Darling Michael, and falls right in with Alex, who never quite achieves darling status. We see how the relationship develops through her eyes, and through the eyes of her younger siblings, Indigo, Saffron and Rose.
Laugh out loud funny.
