Hi! I'm looking for new book recs. I'm looking for books about dysfunctional families or life isn't going the way the main character wants. Something like This Is Where I Leave you. Bonus if it has overbearing parents or parents struggling with addiction. Preferably something funny, but it doesnt have to be. Thank you!

Demon Copperhead is a good book! I liked how Barbara described his birth as him in a bag or something. It was very descriptive.

    I have an e-book reader, so I looked it up: "Mom had her own version of the day I was born, which I never believed, considering she was passed out for the event. Not that I'm any witness, being a newborn infant plus inside a bag. But I knew Mrs. Peggot's story. And if you spent even a day in the company of her and my mom, you would know which of those two lotto tickets was going to pay out."
