Fiction Family Life
A family story for the twenty-first century, based on the phenomenally popular Texts from Bennett Tumblr blog, this epistolary novel chronicles the year that Bennett and the rest of his freeloading family moved into his cousin Mac's household. Hardworking Kansas rapper Mac has a problem, and its name is Bennett. His wannabe gangster cousin is seventeen, uses drugs and foul language, treats women worse than Charlie Sheen, and has just moved in. For the sake of aiding his addled aunt and trying to put Bennett on the straight and narrow, Mac dutifully takes them into his house when they lose their own. Through their interactions and legendary text message exchanges, one thing becomes absolutely clear: Bennett views the world differently than most. (Partly because heβs looking through smoke-filled glasses). In a year of ups and downs, Mac and Bennett need to stick together and make this new family unit work. From stealing cats, to legendary fights with the uncontrollable Mercedes, to his β11 commandmints of gittin bitchez,β Bennettβs going to make that more than a little difficult. But if Mac pays enough attention, maybe, just maybe he'll learn something along the way himself. Regardless of whether they survive their time together, one thingβs for sure, though: Bennett is no ordinary teenager, and certainly not one youβll soon forget.
