Fight Night

This is a hell of a book! I laughed out loud and cried to myself. To quote a character, "life is super fucking hard, right?" but this book makes me feel joyful to be alive.

I like a child narrator, and the “unreliable” nature of that naive point-of-view. Swiv is savvy as well as young though, so sometimes she put me in my place. Grandma too could pull some unpredictable punches (!), and they each reminded me that there’s more than one interpretation to a situation. All done with a often unintentional sense of humor made this a charming and edifying read.

So funny! Loved it. Loved the strong women in it, especially Grandma and Swiv, the daughter and narrator. I laughed out loud at so many parts especially towards the end in the hospital. Swiv as narrator is so excellent.
