The best yet!
Being an enthralled fan of Joan's books, I couldn't wait to read this book, as it was one of the only ones I hadn't read... Be that as it may, this book is definitely the funniest yet! Molly and Nellie are hilarious, warm, honest and very touching.
Any avid reader of the saga of the two families will be hooked, and any new fans will love it as well. Joan writes with so much emotion that this family read will still be being read by me for a long while yet! Read now!!!
