Funny description of a scene in “Next of Kin,” by Samantha Jayne Allen

Humorous description of a woman who has been awakened by someone ringing her doorbell in the book “Next of Kin,” by Samantha Jayne Allen. Readers may get a chuckle from this scene.

A man she did not know began ringing her doorbell in the early morning, awakening her. She answers the door wearing a nightdress, no bra. She fell asleep without removing neither her mascara nor her eyeliner. She looked and smelled like a racoon who looked and smelled like it had rolled in a puddle of vodka, drinking it as it lay there.

If this post is allowed to stay up, I have a couple other funny quotes from books.
