Very funny. As an only child who grew up with a somewhat absent father, and knowing the secondhand experience my friends had of being one of many children, this hit home. The book is very real in many ways.

- PEOPLE PERSON is one of those rare books that manages to explore some heavy and dark topics while being hilarious the entire way through.
- I'll not discuss the plot too much, as the bulk of the book centers around something not given away in the book summary - you just gotta read it to see!
- I adored the Pennington siblings, and being there with them while they tried to figure out how to be there for each other when they had grown up so differently (and yet so similarly, at the same time).
- Carty-Williams is just so great and giving her characters voices and lives that feel completely real. I'm a fan for life.
