I loved this book too. I loved it for fleshing out HAMLET and bringing to the table all of the issues that can plague a family.
I too loved Coolie's character. She was a woman after my heart as far as like the Professor said she might have been down but she was never out.
Lolita Files is a WRITER not an author. She writes vividly and paints the scene for you so you can picture it. I would love for this to be a movie as well as her first two works.
What struck me about the book was really just how well she turned this book into a modern Hamlet. I read Hamlet in college and never really got into it like I did this book.
I was struck by the drug dealing brother who seemed just really hard core and totally unfeeling except towards the psycho aunt. That babe was craaazy. This would make a hella movie.
