Everyone in my family has killed someone. Some of us, the high achievers, have killed more than once. I’m not trying to be dramatic, but it is the truth. Some of us are good, others are bad, and some just unfortunate.

I’m Ernest Cunningham. Call me Ern or Ernie. I wish I’d killed whoever decided our family reunion should be at a ski resort, but it’s a little more complicated than that.

Have I killed someone? Yes. I have.

Who was it?

Let’s get started.

EVERYONE IN MY FAMILY HAS KILLED SOMEONE

My brother

My stepsister

My wife

My father

My mother

I listened to the audiobook, and the 4th wall was broken a lot throughout and I'm not sure if that happens in the book as well because the breaking was all referencing listening to the audiobook. This is fully presented as an active telling of the story by the "author" Ernest. I really enjoyed this presentation of the story!

I kept putting this one off because of the hype, and I'm a little sad that I did, because I found this to be such a fun read! The comedic timing, the dry and dark humor, just everything was chef's kiss. I don't even know what else to say about it, I absolutely loved it and will be getting a copy to keep on my shelf.

Read it!
