"Some honest to goodness laugh out loud moments. Whole sections of dialogue and situational descriptions had me cackling. Loved meeting these characters through Ms. Naylor’s prose. Could tell she knew these people in real life and knew them intimately and crafted their personalities from a place of deep understanding."
