Warning: If you are looking for a sweet, sensitive book with a happily ever after, this isn't it. It is a totally inappropriate book about a completely dysfunctional family. The F word flies free along with many other curse words. Feel free to get drunk (because the Davenports sure are!) while you're reading it, and prepare to wet yourself laughing. If sex scenes are not your thing, this book might not be your thing. But, if you have a crazy sense...

Have I found her? Not yet. And I'm running out of places to look. I know it's only a matter of time before she does something stupid - like obliterate an entire town because they dressed better than her because that's who she is.
