When you are a fortysomething gay New Yorker with a stressful job as a film agent, a fruity assortment of friends and the odd obsessive-compulsive tendency, you may not see yourself as an ideal parent. However, when Ed's sister begs him to take in her daughter - the beautiful, capricious and downright difficult Tiffany - Ed rashly agrees. Soon, his life has turned upside down as he tries to deal with an exasperating but loving teenager while learning to be a parent himself. Their relationship develops from culture shock on both sides to an affectionate tolerance of each other's idiosyncrasies and a shared passion for really bad films. Moving, stylish and appealing, this is a book about growing up, about families, about parenting and about having no idea what to do next.

Easy to read, lots of fun and easy to relate to if you've ever had a teenager in your household (or if perhaps, you were a teen yourself once?). Sweet and heartwarming and interesting.

Fun and humorous, with heart.
I absolutely devoured this novel in one weekend. It was fun, witty but at the same time it took a look at issues which many people may go throuhg at any given point tin their lifetime - difficulty raising children, confronting a debilitating disease and looking for love and companionship. Loved it!
