This book is weird and pretty funny. It's original and feels distinctly different somehow. I really enjoyed the dialogue and the many jabs taken at the uber-rich, politically connected ruling class. I liked the dynamics between Lillian and the twins and Lillian and Carl. Their interactions were funny and it was kinda touching how these relationships developed. Overall, this book really succeeds at being sweet and sincere without being sappy or overly sentimental. A fun, quick read.
