Huh, yeah, really not what I expected. A highly subjective narration about the history of a peculiar family with a plot twist at the 33% mark that may give some people whiplash, it was mildly interesting to follow the narrator's journey as a young adult about hwo to relay her childhood to the reader. It's definitely a funny novel - I chuckled a few times at particularly unexpected one-liners and non-sequiturs. At the end, however, I kept wondering: What was this all about? I couldn't find an answer, so was left rather helpless.

A large part of my discontent with this book came from the fact that the big twist is SPOILED by the German blurb of this book. I don't know why the publisher thought this was a good idea, and frankly, it literally spoiled my reading pleasure.
