Meh… felt like the author overdid it trying to be clever/funny. (It wasn’t clever or funny.) Also, I was not aligning with the main character’s choices so had a hard time caring.

3.5 stars rounded up. This was not quite what I expected or hoped for at the beginning of it, but it was entertaining. The main character was funny and relatable at times but also very annoying. I was hoping for more character growth and a more concrete ending, but overall, I did like it.

Quick, easy read. I really liked Ramona. The kids were a bit over the top but I enjoyed following the story. I feel like this won’t be super memorable for me but it is a debut novel and I do plan to read Prusa’s future work.

This is a cute story of a mom whose life is falling apart at the same time a hurricane is heading for her home. How can you think about evacuating when everything is just chaos. This was a cute quick read. The main character, Ramona, is a huge Prince fan ( obviously from the title) and that theme is kept and included in the story which was both fun and a little tiresome. Overall, I enjoyed this story and it definitely a more lighthearted read that touches on issues many modern American women face.

There is lots of humor throughout the book, so it never felt bogged down but I always found a reason to laugh or smile. IN my eyes, that makes a good book.

Thank you the publisher and netgalley for an advance copy of this book.
