this was the longest 200 pages of my life.

i can't decide what irritated me the most about this family, their unexamined racism and homophobia or the fact that they have a series of elaborate competitions every christmas. (kidding, i do know which one is worse.) we love to have a character outed by her mother and have a sibling make it entirely about them, don't we???? and also to have that character out another of their siblings in a smaller setting????

also, where the f*ck in arkansas do you have enough snow on christmas every single year to have a family snowball fight??
