Rockets’ Red Glare by Sue Ann Jaffarian is the 4th book in the “Holidays From Hell” short story series. June 2013
When Zelda Bowen brings her new boyfriend to the Bowen annual Fourth of July barbeque, her dysfunctional family seems genuinely pleased to meet him. Everyone, that is, except her older sister Norma. When the fireworks start, it’s not the kind anyone expected.
Surprises abound at the family cookout with Zelda and her dysfunctional family in this hilariously engaging episode that ends with a few smokes and giggles. A pure delight.
I have read one other book in the Holidays From Hell series, and loved it. So many things that kind of come out of the blue and make you either surprised or laughing and I love that in a book. Can’t wait to order it.
I am going to get a copy of this book & try to get the others. It sounds like my life, to heck with holidays.
I have a couple other Jaffarian books and am likely to check this one out as well.
