We read this for book club this month, but sadly I was disappointed in it. There was so much potential but the writing was just, well, confusing. I enjoyed the plot, but getting through the deliver of it was challenging at times.
I was not expecting it, since we have read this author before, but I'm willing to give this author another chance. The other book we read was VERY different from this, so I should find a third book (not more in this series!) to see if I like it any better.
What do you get when you throw together a brand-new college grad, a house full of kids (including two sets of twins!), and a meddling grandmother/mother-in-law you can't even claim as your own? One hilariously inspiring Christian story celebrating family, friendships ... and a whole lot of mayhem! It's Mom's Night Out meets Cheaper by the Dozen when 22-year-old Aggie "inherits" her eight nephews and nieces, creating the instant family she never had (or even knew she wanted). Woefully (and laughably) unprepared, Aggie dives headfirst into a whirlwind of bottle feeding (babies need coffee, too, right?), car-pooling (ha! if only), house-keeping madness. It's the hardest job she's ever loved, and she's bound and determined to succeed. Ready or not (she'd say not!) here she comes! Dive into this delightful series for all the laughs, inspiration, and encouragement Christian fiction fans across the world have come to expect from bestselling novelist Chautona Havig and her unwavering, steadfast (and totally endearing) heroine.

Keep reading, even if you don't like the book, because you just find you do in the end!
Book Count: 5/55
