Great stories- a few that I could relate to! I wish my family had more fun traditions and adventures though!

I was given this book and read it but did not enjoy it much at all. Overall, I am not a huge Chicken Soup for the Soul fan. There were some humorous antidotes about families and weird relatives so that was okay, but I would not recommend the book to anyone.
