Agnes and the Hitman
by Jennifer Crusie
This was an absolutely ridiculous book. I had a lot of fun with it, though!
This is absolutely a book where you need to turn your brain off when you read it. Many things make absolutely no sense, the coincidences are large, and the characters are all outlandish.
But if you can accept that and get over it? This is a wild romp of a ride.
I laughed so many times while reading this book. Cranky Agnes might be my new favorite character. The family drama was popcorn-worthy. There were a ton of twists. The stakes kept getting higher. And the cast was just great. I adored the found-family!
Really my only complaint was that there were far too many characters. I could barely keep track of them. I swear, at one point halfway through the book, I stared at a paragraph for a good ten minutes trying to remember who everyone was. The cast could've been halved and I think I still would have said there were too many characters.
Otherwise, this was a silly fun time of a read. If you're in the mood for something that's utterly ridiculous, I'd recommend this one!
4.5 stars
