Book Review

Overall

If Seinfeld were reincarnated with a crew of seasoned characters stirring up mischief at every turn, you'd get the vibe of this story. With its plethora of laugh-out-loud moments, it's like a comedy goldmine waiting to be discovered. In essence, it's a delightful, breezy read that guarantees smiles from start to finish.    

Each character is a reminder that age is just a number. As they embark on their mission to save the community center, a motley crew emerges, banding together not only to rescue the center but also to solve each other’s problems. The number of petty revenge plots scattered throughout had me smiling, especially every time Daphne tries to embrace a modern way of doing something, only to end up unleashing her unfiltered honestly on an unsuspecting victim.
