Every Crooked Pot by Renee Rosen tells the story of a almost larger than life family, with the main focus on Nina. She is the youngest child. She was born with a birth mark on her right eye and lid. The story starts in 1968 and continues. I grew up during the time frame that the story is placed. Talking about bell bottom jeans and tie dye shirts.

At times the story would seem to drag a bit but it was to help build the story line. Nina felt that if she could be without the birth mark then her life would be perfect. She tried salt water treatments, injections and laser treatments. She wanted to be part of the in crowd but only seemed to be able to hang onto the edge.

I haven’t looked to see if Ms. Rosen has written any more books but if she has I would give them a try.

I received this book for free from Goodreads First Read. ( )

Girl growing up with an hemangioma, strawberry mark, on her eye thinks her life would be great if only she was beautiful. Plus she has a father whose attention seeking behavior seems to border on bipolar disorder. It reads like a memoir, very linear, which flattened it out some. Very funny in spots. Though marketed towards teens, to me it had more of an adult feel, as though written by an adult looking back. ( )
