Sound review, hsimone. To answer your opening question - the title had caught my attention. What is it?

Thank you, Leon! I agree the cover and the title is pretty catchy. If you get a chance to read Snafu'd, hope you enjoy it! :)

Hi @chytach18-! Thank you for reading my review! Moe and some of his employees continually make snafus in and out of the car dealership. I believe that author was trying to reference those incidents. However, I did not mention some of them. Looking back, I definitely would've added some examples.

I can share one. One example of a snafu that Moe made is giving his trust to his young mistress, named Lex. He completely trusted and wanted to "love" her, but let's just say it didn't end very well for him.

Hope this helps, and next time I'll try to do a better job in referencing the title more. Thank you for question!

I don't care much about cars and the simple plot and character development is also unappealing to me as a reader. Even so, great review! It told me that this isn't the book for me, but the review itself was enjoyable to read.

Thank you, Tanaya! I was a little worried about the book because of the car aspect. However, I liked the summary, so I wanted to give it a try.

I'm glad you were able to tell if this book is or isn't for you. That's I think book reviews are great because it gives so much more than a summary and a better understanding of the topic.

Thanks again for reading my review!

When you see a book with a title like this one, you absolutely have to investigate further! I'm not sure if this book is my cup of tea, but I did enjoy reading your review. Great job!

You two are sweet :). I'm working on my next one, but I've been so busy that I've fallen behind on contributing to the forums! I'm hoping this week will a bit less chaotic!
