Description

The book is written entirely in first person, and each chapter is titled after the name and age of the person narrating. Der graue Alltag hat sie so sehr aufgesogen, dass kein Farbklecks mehr übrig blieb, an dem sie sich hätte erfreuen können. Sometimes we do feel dissatisfied with our life but that is because we are not seeing everything with generous eyes.

I love her writing style, it’s so unique and there’s an excerpt from another novel of hers ‘Oh Dear Silvia’ at the end of this book and I read it and LIKED IT SO MUCH I WANT SOMEONE TO GIFT ME THAT BOOK NOW SO I CAN READ THE REST OF THAT AWESOMENESS.So lässt Dora zum Beispiel all ihren Frust in einer sehr schimpfwortlastigen Sprache ab, während ihr Bruder sich bemüht wie Oscar Wilde zu klingen. I still don't understand how a book can be a 'No1 Besteller' before it has even been published and placed on shelves. Written in diary format, with each chapter narrated by a different voice, this is a hilarious, sharp and utterly compelling novel about the ups and down of family, sibling rivalry and growing up. We don't get to know Husband's name until the end of the book when he is finally appreciated for the loving, caring, doting husband that he is. As a big fan of Dawn French, I wanted to see if her writing was as good as her performances, and in many ways I wasn't disappointed.

Yes, we know teenage girls overuse 'like' and we've seen shallowness and mother-hating (but mother-loving underneath all the vitriol, ahhh) a thousand times before. I didn't manage to read the whole thing, because I just couldn't cope with the exaggeration of teen Dora and the not-so-believeable Mo.Realising that she's no longer looking as young as she used to and starting to feel the effects of old age and turning into her own mother, Mo is pretty two dimensional but, unfortunately, is the most developed of the three main characters. The storyline was in complete disarray; the storyline leading up to the 'climatic' moments were not introduced into the novel until past midway. I ask you, how was she ever supposed to make anyting of herself with that ghastly moniker as her albatross? There's Mo, the tired child psychiatrist mother, Dora, the Facebook obsessed 17 year old, and Peter, the precocious 16 year old obsessed with Oscar Wilde.
