Nana is a trip!
This was one of my Blackoweenathon (created by Bre @Loc'd Booktician) reads. This book was down right entertaining and fun to talk about with friends.
This story is about Monica as she is coping with the death of her adoptive mother when at the funeral her biological mother shows up and now wants to be in her life. Monica immediately accepts her and invites her to stay at her home with her husband and children. At first her husband is on board until things take a ....freaky turn with Nana.
Most of the time I was shocked that Monica was so accepting of her mother suddenly dropping into her life. She dropped in and was taking control of the family, dictating what the kids ate and who was around them, demanding to be called Nana even though they already called her husbands mom Nana, constantly making Monica drink tea and "rest", the list continues. I found myself yelling at Monica to not let this woman take control of her house.
The supernatural aspect of this was thrilling and honestly the best part. I wish there was more of it some how. As I said earlier this was a really fun book to discuss with friends I would recommend this one if you have a book club and are thinking of something quick and entertaining to read with friends over a glass of wine.
