A Sidekick's Tale

8/30/2020: This is just as much fun on reread. Marty's dry humor practically makes the pages crackle sometimes (“The roses didn't want me to leave, judging by how they held onto me” and so on) and his dysfunctional family is pathetically hilarious. Nothing like a feud to keep folks on their toes...

5/27/2018: This book was so much fun to read! I absolutely loved the humorous voice of the narrator, whose comparisons are flat brilliant and had me chuckling on just about every page. Chance and Meredith's story does not go the way you would expect it to in the least, and Marty the narrator hardly expects that to be his fault—but it is. Highly recommended.
