Hi! I’m looking for new book recs. I’m looking for books about dysfunctional families or life isn’t going the way the main character wants. Something like This Is Where I Leave you. Bonus if it has overbearing parents or parents struggling with addiction. Preferably something funny, but it doesnt have to be. Thank you!
