I'm really sorry, but this book is just not good. Sure, the writing is tolerable but for a book that is long winded, dull and hard to keep track off due to the constant changing of characters, you would expect a decent ending at least. My Not So Functional Family does not deliver on this at all I'm afraid. None of the characters are at all likable, nor do they really have any redeeming characteristics. It was truly a massive disappointment. This could have been a lighthearted, witty novel and yet the end just made me feel sad that I'd wasted time reading it. It was far too serious and dull, in fact, I think I would actively tell people to not read this book. I really hope that Bridie Jabour doesn't give up writing but learns from this mistake. Although all opinions in this review are my own, I would like to thank Zaffre and Readers First for an advanced copy.
