Love doesn't always look like it does on television. . . .
Elvira's family has never been the warm, fuzzy type. Most of the time, Elvira can't stand the sight of her little sister, Kerrie. Elvira and her mother, Mel, fight more often than not. Mel hasn't spoken to her own family in years. And when Mel announces she's pregnant again, Elvira's daddy storms off to Las Vegas to enter an Elvis impersonator competition.
When an urgent phone call sends Elvira, Mel, and Kerrie on an unexpected trip to meet Mel's family for the first time, Elvira discovers that love doesn't always look like it does in television commercials. But it's there, all right—you just have to know how to look for it.
Written by Newbery Honor winner Audrey Couloumbis, Love Me Tender is a lovely, lyrical look at a multigenerational family of strong, stubborn women working to untangle the ties that bind them together and uncover the love that's always been just underneath.
? "Couloumbis' winning, witty portrayal . . . encapsulates universal truths about family relationships."—Publishers Weekly, Starred

Love Me Tender
It should be 3.5 stars but I still haven't figured out how to give to do half stars.
When a very pregnant Mel hears that her mother may be dying, she packs up her 13 year old daughter Elvira and 8 year old daughter Kerrie and heads to Memphis to be with the family. Mel and her husband Tony, an Elvis impersonator, have had a fight just a few days earlier so he is in Las Vegas with no idea that his girls are headed to a reunion which may be anything but happy.
While it was an entertaining read, I feel that it fell short of living up to the jacket blurb. I'm not really sure what the conflict was, how it was resolved or how the characters grew. But I am glad that I read it and would still recommend it if you want a fast, entertaining read.
