Lucky Stars
Thanks to this quick and funny book for stirring up my crazy weekend. Lucky Stars is about the crazy and tensed relationship between a mother and daughter and the misadventures they had to go through. The book was easy to relate to, as I saw myself in Stacey's place & my mom on Helen's.
Stacey Reiser was an upcoming actress or a starlet trying to take her chances in Hollywood. I don't blame her, living in the land of stars would definitely make one crave for fame and fortune. In a surprising twist of fate (over a tuna debacle), it was her meddlesome mother Helen who got discovered instead and became very famous. Plus, there was that difficult-to-please film critic/reviewer, Jack Rawlins who bad-mouthed Stacey, thus preventing her from getting jobs in California. Helen Reiser was a tough act to follow, I kid you not.
This Mother & Daughter tandem is neurotic!
I loved how this book made me laugh; it's quite a classically witty, humorous read. There are times when I found myself in Stacey's shoes and couldn't help but get "angry" with my own mom because of her intrusive meddling. I love my mother, but there was times when she drive me nuts. And I don't mean nuts as in she aggravates me. I mean nuts as in she makes the tiny vein in my left eyelid twitch and sigh while rolling my eyes, babbling about her superstitious beliefs and stuffs. But I definitely love everything about my mom..
So anyway, if you got time and want some funny moments, I suggest LUCKY STARS this weekend. A perfect read just in time for Mother's Day.
