Agnes and the Hitman by Jennifer Crusie
4.0
4,5 stars =)
A book just AWESOME !!
The life of Agnes was going well so far. She was engaged, the house of her dreams would soon be hers and she had made great progress concerning her anger management. But everything changes when a boy broke into her house ... To steal her dog !! From there, disasters keep coming: the discovery of a secret cellar, the wedding of her best friend's daughter to organize, the mother of her best friend who does everything to sabotage the wedding, the scheming of uncle Joey, Shane aka the delicious hitman who is there to protect her (and more ...), more and more corpses each day, flamingos and Agnes who eventually realizes she has never been so happy ...
Okay, it's official, I'm a HUGE fan of this author !!
The author's style is awesome, full of humor and weird stuff, the plot and subplots are very well done (a good immersion in the murky waters of the Italian mafia ... and much MUCH dead people !!) and I love the characters who are very original, quirky but very endearing ><
I TOTALLY loved Agnes who is very odd (the ultimate weapon aka the frying pan =D), adorable, sometimes scary (sex as anger management ... I love it xD), cute and ultimately very human: no an extraordinary girl with huge talent but just a (almost) normal girl coping with things as she can =) I loved Shane who seems very cold initially and who ultimately proves to be an handsome hitman with a great sense of humor working more or less with the government and have more or less ties to the Mafia ... Very exciting =D The secondary characters are also great (even though she was crazy, Brenna was MAG' !! I never thought she went so far !! And Uncle Joey was sooo funny x))
The ending is perfect, a wonderful happy ending as I like it =)
In short, a nice reading full of laughs to read ABSOLUTLY x)
