Summary
INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLING AUTHOR
You are a small thing, and you must learn to fight. Swiv has taken this advice too literally. Now she's suspended from school, in the care of her foul-mouthed, hilarious grandmother. Mom is busy being pregnant, so Grandma gives Swiv a very different education. Swiv learns maths with Amish jigsaws and How to Dig a Winter Grave. Grandma's methods may be unorthodox, but she has faced the worst of life with a wild, independent spirit and this is what she hopes to pass on. Time is running short. Grandma's health is failing and the baby is on the way - can Grandma inspire this fire in Swiv, and ensure it never goes out?
Poignant, hilarious and deeply moving, Fight Night is a girl's love letter to the women raising her and a tribute to one family's fighting spirit.

Fab performances
Wonderful performances. Storyline is a little windy but I laughed in all the right places (I hope!) and felt sadness too. Lovely.

Wonderful book
I highly recommend this book, it skilfully portrays the familial relationships between three generations of women; it is full of wisdom and humour and is enhanced by the superb narration.

0 Stars! Worst book ever
Read for book club. Terrible writing with no plot. Dislikable characters and too much dialogue. Read like one manic stream of consciousness. Avoid if you value your time.

Drove Me Crazy
Didn’t like this much. It was all right after a rocky start but it got so annoying and boring after 50% in. The plot was non-existent, characters became annoying and I really disliked the narration. Mega regret purchase ffs
