A review by elinacre
Best to Laugh by Lorna Landvik

4.0

3.5 stars. i can't exactly put a finger on what i *didn't* love about this novel...maybe there just wasn't a big ENOUGH conflict? tons of smaller issues and obstacles, and heartbreaks and successes. but, love the quirky secondary characters, the back and forth between candy and her grandma, and wish i could watch candy onstage for real! kind of reminded me of fannie flagg's books, in that you seem to get to know an entire community, not just a main character or two.
