Smothered
by Autumn Chiklis
This book is fantastic. It's laugh out loud funny (primarily due to Lou, but really, her whole family is perfection) and it's insanely relatable.
This book is for everyone who struggled after college or who feels like everyone else has their life completely together and why didn't we get that memo, too? (So, in short, for everyone.)
The biggest achievement, though, is the way that these characters transcend tropes. It would be so easy to make Lou or her mom laughingstocks. (Her mom, especially, is a larger than life character, but she doesn't feel campy at all.) It's impossible not to love these people.
I have hopes for companion novels from Lou's sister Val and definitely from their mom. I am not ready to leave the Hansens behind. (Please don't make me.)
