This book was a fun, crazy, and at times maddening trip! Emily is dating Adam and things are going great until she meets his mother, Pammie. It seems like Pammie will stop at nothing to keep the two of them apart.
I felt such anxiety when reading this one because it plays on one of my fears which is the mother in law from hell. I actually have a nice, normal mother in law but I guess knowing I was lucky and dodged a bullet there makes these type of stories just freak me out more than reading a novel about a serial killer. But even though I felt on edge throughout the book it still was a fun type feeling you get when you can't wait to find out what happens next.
I wouldn't say anything was really groundbreaking with the plot but it didn't matter because you feel so invested in the storyline and wanting everyone to catch on to Pammie. One criticism I have of the book is I don't think enough time was spent developing Adam and Emily's relationship so it was obvious why Emily wouldn't run for the hills after getting to know his mother. However, the pacing of the book is excellent so maybe going into so much detail would have hampered it as this makes a much better suspense read than one that drags on and on.
This isn't a perfect read but it is so entertaining and will probably be one of the hits of the summer/fall so I definitely recommend checking it out!
