*hahaha* I can't with this level of satire. Fierce! I'm giggling all the way through.

"My favourite hymn. That’s a toughie. “Bohemian Rhapsody,” maybe?"

"How and why would a pop star lock herself in some pansy boy who smells like piss? Wouldn’t the rest of Fleetwood Mac notice?"

"Now I’ve got my gayandlesbian grandkid scratching at the door like a raccoon. Christ, I’m the one that should’ve been aborted."

This was so invigoratingly alive and populated with such perfectly imperfect bunch of individuals. Uproarious, tragic, wry, spiteful, needy, compassionate... a gosh darn gorgeous human farce! With not a dull moment.

Has to be added to favorites; I so wish there was more of this!

Argh! This continues to be so outrageous, and sweet, and genuine. I don't want it to end; I need more of these spectacular personalities!

"Binny asks Edmund if there would be any way Edmund would consider beating him up a bit."

And then there are Binny's and Edmund's escapades <3 And 'Lie-Lie' - oh, no! Gosh! I'm so in love with these characters. Sweet and nasty and tragic and fierce and oh, so humanly flawed.

So real, rich and satiric. I wish I didn't need to get some sleep... this feels like one of those you wouldn't care to end at all.

My goodness, I am adoring this! These characters are everything!

The Teresa and Jocelyn introduction chapter *argh* Oozing toxicity.

Whole of Binny's quirky sass and 'diva realness'! Edmund seemingly in love with everything that loves him back *ha*

Loving, loving, loving all of this.

(And after the ferocious Binny/Lila encounter, am very intrigued for a possibly Binny/Joel meeting).

Yeah... I'm all into it from the very first chapter. Perfectly frank and human and spontaneous.

Jemppu “No, I mean, I understand about your — your bitterness over not being a ballerina.”
“Have you been snooping around in my things?”
“No! Just what was lying out in the basement.”
“I don’t have nothing lying out in the basement. You went through my personal things. I feel like I been raped.”
“Granny, I’m trying to say that I understand. I’m torn between artistic expression and romantic fulfillment also. Like in The Red Shoes. Have you seen the movie? Have you heard the Kate Bush record of the same name? So good.”
“You get out of my house! People don’t talk to other people about their personal ballerina things. I never felt so raped. Even when I was raped!”
“I’m just trying to reach out. I wasn’t trying to rape you, Gran.”


X,D I mean, this family! Goodness this is brilliant!
