Cute quirky quick read! Laugh at loud, especially good if you understand the Yiddish - Jewish and trailer trash is an unusual combo but Stacey Roberts makes it work, both literally and figuratively!

This has everything I love, especially in a memoir, and more. I am in love with the entire 80s decade, so any book - especially a memoir of someone who lived/grew up in the 80s - is going to pique my interest. That, along with the kind of humor and wit included in this book is what made it one of my favorites.

Unexpectedly enjoyed this book immensely. Laughed more than I expected.

Once I got into this book a little bit, it was actually a pretty funny book. The mother was crazy and no one I would want to mess with. The older (favorite) brother seemed lazy and would probably live with the mother for the rest of his life. It seemed the writer of the book and youngest brother was the only one with any sense. The poor kid, it's a wonder he grew up with any sense. Ha!

This book was definitely classic and full of laughs. I actually think the mother knew what she was doing. Especially when she would invite herself to all these dinners when Stacey thought he was going to have a good meal. I can't believe she would come and sabotage all the good food. Yeah, she wasn't exactly dumb.

Thanks to Sons of Joy for approving my request and to Net Galley for providing me with a free e-galley in exchange for an honest review.
