This is such a wonderful and weird book that combines horror and fantasy. It is about Josie, a woman who's divorced from her husband and her father died. She now avoids interacting with people and lives with her dog Po. She is also estranged from her mother and drinks a lot of beer as a way to deal with her grief. One day Josie notices a sudden plant growth and then there's a talking skeleton in her backyard who calls herself Skelly. There's also a new neighbor named Sue who insists on interacting with Josie and won't take the hint to go away, and who may know the truth about the vines and Skelly. The interaction between Josie and Skelly was both funny and frustrating. I enjoyed it whenever Skelly told a story and really grew attached to her, as well as all the characters in this book. This is now one of my favorite and I am definitely reading more of Tiffany Meuret's writing. :)
