"I picked this up from the clearance table at B&N, thinking that it sounded like some sort of Flannery O'Connor kind of thing. I mean, this girl's about to go dig up her mother's body to find something (I can't remember what)! But it was just absolutely terrible. I finished it, but I hated it and couldn't wait to foist it upon my library as a donation."
"The author does a wonderful job of changing narrators throughout the story without it ever seeming awkward or forced. The story is both sad and humorous. The main protagonist is sympathetic without letting you feel too sorry for her. A good book."
"I enjoyed this book. The characters were very funny. The story alternated between the characters different points of view. It was fun and quick to read."
