so-so
I read A LOT of memoirs, and I‘m not sure this really adds anything to the glut of dysfunctional family ones. Eh it‘s okay.
Annabelle grew up in Ft Myers, Florida, the daughter of a white B‘Hai father and a Filipina mom who argue constantly. When her father suddenly dies, her family is unmoored, and she must step in as a second parent to her older siblings while her mother descends into anger and hoarding before shooting at a trespasser. 😳
GinaKButler Ohhh…good to know. This one caught my eye since I live in Florida (my daughter is interested in the university in Ft Myers). 2w
Suet624 I wasn‘t expecting that ending to your post! 2w
Megabooks @GinaKButler yeah, I grew up vacationing in Sarasota and have visited FM many times. I just wasn‘t super impressed by this. There are just so many dysfunctional family memoirs that it takes a more interesting angle to impress me! 2w
Megabooks @Suet624 lol! Yeah, the book starts and ends with this court case over her mom shooting someone trying to steal mangoes from a tree in her yard! 😳😳 2w
