This book cracked me up right away by telling us about the Williamses who have just lost their patriarch and describing each deeply flawed but hilarious member of the family. I laughed out loud at the descriptions of the characters and all the reasons why they each shouldn't be allowed to give the eulogy; they sound just as eccentric and lackluster as my family members. As the first chapter moves into the funeral scene, we find out some big news about Grandpa that rocks their world. He was in love with Neighbor Fred. Of course, this sends shockwaves through the family, which we hear about as the novel jumps from head to head. This is where the book started to lose me--head hopping. I couldn't keep track of who was who as we heard from each of their perspectives, and while I enjoyed the fleshed out characters and the comedic writing style, I found this really abrupt and jerky. After this, we get to the post-funeral scene with jumping from person-to-person and not much talk of Neighbor Fred's revelation. This was less than smooth, and the chapter went from really catchy and funny to subpar by the end. I wouldn't buy this book.
