My Messed-Up Life is another funny, well-observed story from Susin Nielsen... it's a bouncy read with characters to whom readers will soon feel a strong attachment. * BookTrust *
Sassy and candid... Especially affecting are Violet's struggles to accept her father's new family and her devotion to both her mother and Rosie. A bonus: Clooney makes a cameo -- starred review * Publishers Weekly *
Nielsen has created a story that is both funny and touching and well worth the read. Highly recommended * CM Magazine *
Laugh-out-loud humor deftly mixes with insight into a troubled girl's pain over her parents' divorce, keeping readers involved on every page ... This comic novel scores * Kirkus *
...warm, funny and highly engaging. * The School Librarian *
This hilarious book is fast-paced and witty, but beneath the laughs, Violet is a pre-teen struggling with the complexities of her parent's relationships. * Inis Reading Guide *
Violet is a complex, appealing character ... a very engaging read * Booklist *
A lot of cleverness and fun ... Some delectable secondary characters (and) a couple of lovely plot twists ... Buy it * National Post *
