I enjoyed this book although I found the plot kinda lacking. I was expecting a more intricately laid plot with many twists and turns from the summary, but I got a very straight laced plot.

i thought it was quite boring also it wasn't really interesting. So i don't really recommend it. Unless if you like stories about people going on trips, and fake things happening. Also it was about a family going on a trip to their mothers godmother, and visiting her. I don't like this book because most of it is fake and i don't like fake things or fake people.No way can I resist a novel set on the Jersey Shore!
