The Monkeyface Chronicles

Very entertaining and hard to put down. I read the entire third act in one sitting, on the eve of Father's Day, which is interesting considering the plot revelations that come out.

In many instances, the characters surprise you by behaving in ways you don't expect. Some characters are set up to be a certain way, but end up making choices that break out of what a cliched version of the character might do. For example, in an early scene, the principal of the school, who is also the father of the school bullies, resolves a bullying incident by favouring justice over nepotism. It took me by surprise, and it was very satisfying.

Overall, a funny and enjoyable read.
