Review: I really enjoyed reading this book, it was a whole new take on what we know of the Addams Family but it worked really well. It had modern elements mixed with their dark macabre world.
For 13 years they lived in an old asylum covered I. fog and didn’t know that a whole suburban town had been built near them created by a reality tv host who wants to build a perfect town and is desperate to remove the Addamses and their house from it.
I loved Wednesdays progression in the story wanting to know more of what was out there even though it wasn’t what her family did and in return she found a friend that liked her style of living more than what she originally had. Alongside with Pugsly having to learn his families traditional dance and fight to protect his family he had to learn and struggled to learn and desperately didn’t want to fail his family legacy.
I really liked how the two types of worlds collided and it was funny, it was entertaining and it was a very good easy read.
