A Funny Thing About Love by Erin Soderberg Downing

She helps out her family, motivates her sister (whose power is fun, but also uncontrollable) and does so much more. All she wants is to stay somewhere for a longer time than a few days or even a few weeks, but with her family, and their tendency to do stuff out of the ordinary there is at times little hope.Įven with everything that happens, Molly does stay mostly positive throughout the book. Molly was a great character, and I loved how she tried to help out her family, but you can also clearly see that after moving so much, after finally settling in, that she is about the burst when things do seem to go wrong. I just loved that event, I would love to have one in my city. A town where everything is seemingly supernormal, though they have an event each year that breaks the normalcy. I loved the fact that the Quirks (who are so not normal), move to a town named Normal. I can hear you ask why, well read the book and find out why only she is up to the task of babysitting her little brother. Keeping an eye out for her little brother. Add to that that this little girl also has an additional task in the household. She hates the constant moving around, she wants to make friends, she wants to feel home somewhere. On the one hand, she loves her family, on the other however, she doesn't like that she has to remind them all the time to act normal, to be normal. Molly is the only one who is normal in her family. We have a family with all kinds of talents/quirks, each one has one. Do they not want people to be entertained? I never get it, why do publishers/authors/artists spoil a book by way of blurb, forewords or covers. But I think that if you read the first pages of the book and find out certain things, that you will be looking strangely. Which of course, you probably won't know unless you read it. Because the other edition cover? It spoils a big thing. I am so glad that I bought this book when I saw it at a discount, and I am also dearly glad that I found this edition.
