I enjoyed this book for the most part, but there&#8217;s a problem with the narrator&#8217;s voice. Since Perry is 18, I guess this is technically a YA book, and yet the voice was sometimes so much older and more mature that I felt like I was reading about a woman in her mid-20s at least, only to be startled when Perry said or did something completely ridiculous. And the men, too, are all over the place &#8211; it just didn&#8217;t seem realistic sometimes. But it was an enjoyable read &#8211; I&#8217;ll probably try another of this author&#8217;s books.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The eponymous heroine of Dalya Moon&#8217;s Smart Mouth Waitress is an 18-year-old named Perry who has been left in charge of taking care of her father and younger brother while her mom is off on a creative quest.
