Deedee Divine's Totally Skewed Guide to Life
Author: Diana Estill

Suitable for: Teens+
My Rating: 4.5
Stars
Format Read for Review: Kindle
Pages: 228
Description: This
book is a series of essays each about Deedee Divine's life experiences or just
general opinions on things. The topics are things most adult women can relate
to; family, food, travel, holidays, dieting, health concerns, shopping, IBS, car seats and so
on. Reading this book is much like reading a humorous blog with each entry
being short, concise and entertaining. Although this book seems clean enough
for most ages I think adult women would be the best audience for relating to
the content.
In Short: Deedee Divine is definitely someone I would like
to hang out with. She has a ton of funny stories, a knack for getting herself
into situations, and a great sense of humor that is sarcastic at times. For example she
comically describes alternative meanings to road signs. This quote about a road sign is my
favorite: "Stop When Flashing - Flashers who stop generally get
caught!" Some of the stories are also very sweet and romantic; she shares
with us some lovely memories of vacations and special occasions with her
husband and kids. Overall this is a feel-good read that covers a variety of
topics.
Pros: Because
each chapter is a single essay it is easy to pick this book up and read at your
leisure. I enjoyed reading this book and read it quickly in 2 nights. Most of
the stories are entertaining and some are down right funny. This is one of few books that has gotten audible laughs out of me. It is well written
by an experienced writer with no blatant editing errors. The settings and events are descriptive and believable. The flow of the book works well even with the structure of it being a series of unconnected essays.
