THOUGHTS:
This book is SO funny?? Like Violetta shows up with a (fake) story to try and get some money from Bertrice, and this woman is like okay but what if we just do a bunch of ridiculous stuff to RUIN my nephew’s life instead? And then they do things like hire a very bad choir to follow him around singing the Hallelujah Chorus??? Then we get a hard shift into a conversation about how society treats older women, whether they have money or not. Having a romance between two older women (69 and 73) was such a good change of pace, and look IDK what it’s like to be that age but idk I felt like Courtney Milan did a great job with it!
