On Christmas Day their rich and imperious grandmother gathers the family and announces that she will soon die . . .and has cut the entire family out of her will. Since she is the source of almost all their income, this means they will soon be penniless.

Someone in the family has offended her deeply. If that person comes forward with a confession of her (or his) crime, submitted in writing to her lawyer by New Year's Day, she will reinstate the family in her will. Or at least consider it.

And so the confessions begin...

My Thoughts:

This was a fun and entertaining read!  Although the first sister's confession was my favorite, the middle sister's was definitely the funniest.  This book had me in stitches through the whole thing.  The sister's all had quirky and unique personalities and you couldn't help but like them all.  
I really loved the whole family dynamics in this book.  Although they were rich and were all odd in their own ways, they loved each other.  
Everyone had much to confess to and it was great hearing some of the ridiculous things they did that they felt like they had to confess.

This book was a little bit hard for me to get into but after a few pages I was hooked!  I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a fun and quirky read.

I give this one 4/5 Moons.
