About this audiobook
Funny, feisty and all-too-true, A Not Quite Perfect Family by Claire Sandy is for anyone who loves their family so much they’d just like a weekend away from them.
Fern Carlile has a lot on her plate. It's a good thing she loves her big imperfectly perfect family, because she's the one who washes their pants, de-fleas the dog and runs her own business. A hearty meal is the one thing that pulls the Carliles together - but over the course of a year, the various courses also pull them apart.
Around the table sits an eight year old militant feminist, a pair of teenaged accidental parents, and a cantankerous OAP. Fern's husband needs an extra seat for his spectacular midlife crisis.
Will Fern's marriage be over by the time coffee is served? Perhaps she'll give in and have the hot new dish that looks so tempting. Decisions, decisions . . .

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I enjoyed this slice of life contemporary fiction. The characters were fun and quirky, the story held my attention. There were two pieces that were slightly underdeveloped and rushed but otherwise it was a fun read. Overall a good, light book that was perfect to kick off November- for anyone in an imperfect family. Narrator was very good
