Description

From internationally bestselling author Kate Long, a perceptive, vivid, and painfully funny novel about family ties and growing up On the eve of her eighteenth birthday, Katherine wants only three things: a smidge of social grace, the body of Courteney Cox, and two parents. What she has instead is an almost complete lack of friends, a pudgy figure, and one extremely eccentric, nearly blind grandmother named Poll. Since Katherine s father died and her mother disappeared, Poll is her only family. And not only does Poll buy all of Katherine s clothes, but she forbids her to leave the house unless it s absolutely necessary. Would a chance to go to Oxford count? But the bigger question is: How can she abandon her grandma? Just when Katherine has resigned herself to a lifetime of watching daytime television, sparring with Poll, and visiting the town library for "fun," along comes a handsome, magnetic young man named Collum, who claims to be Katherine s long-lost cousin. But as Katherine is about to learn, when it comes to family, things aren t always as they seem. Praise for Kate Long s The Bad Mother s Handbook "Kate Long manages to brilliantly balance equal parts heartbreak and hilarity in a novel that you will love unconditionally."
-Sarah Bird, author of The Flamenco Academy "There is a lovely sweetness to this heartbreaking/heartwarming story."
-The Seattle Times "Funny, touching and utterly winning."
-Publishers Weekly
