About the Book:
When Kevin Gogarty’s irrepressible eighty-three-year-old mother, Millie, is caught shoplifting yet again, he has no choice but to hire a caretaker to keep an eye on her. Kevin, recently unemployed, is already at his wits’ end tending to a full house while his wife travels to exotic locales for work, leaving him solo with his sulky, misbehaved teenaged daughter, Aideen, whose troubles escalate when she befriends the campus rebel at her new boarding school. Into the Gogarty fray steps Sylvia, Millie’s upbeat home aide, who appears at first to be their saving grace—until she catapults the Gogarty clan into their greatest crisis yet.

My Review:

The first thing to say about this book is that it is funny and I really loved it. It is told from three points of view and how the author manged these VERY different points of view is beyond me....I believe she did a bang up job though. One is a teenage girl, one is a middle aged man and one is a octogenarian woman. I loved all three characters, faults and all BUT Millie and Aideen really captured my heart. 

Millie is quite the character and how she interacts with people is hysterical. She just doesn't care what anyone says, she is going to do what she wants and the way he expresses herself becomes incredibly funny. The author involves the reader in every Gogarty family tribulation. It’s highly enjoyable companionship albeit with three unwilling escorts. The writing captures the reader in its simplicity as it creates a world of complexity that creates havoc to a family and all those they encounter. I predict that you will take this book to your heart and you’ll probably not forget it...This was a treasure to read.
