What the family needed

What the family needed / Steven Amsterdam 262 pgs.

I read the jacket of this book and thought it had great promise.  A family who discovers in times of need that they each have a superpower.  Seemed like it could be REALLY FUN.  Well, instead, they use their powers to focus inward...the teen who can become invisible hangs out to hear what is happening in her family.  The guy who can make people fall in love, does so with is cousin then experiments with people who work at a coffee shop.  The woman who is suddenly very strong decides to swim a lot.  It isn't that I don't care about families but I really wanted them to do something a little cooler with super powers than hang around with each other.
