theglossreview's review against another edition

What I learned from People Person was not to skim through a book. Lesson: “Just DNF it properly. Stop immediately and leave it unread. Do not skip ahead to see if it will get better or to satisfy your curiosity. Your good faith is misplaced.” It only got worse.

Very funny. As an only child who grew up with a somewhat absent father, and knowing the secondhand experience my friends had of being one of many children, this hit home. The book is very real in many ways.

Dimple going off on Lizzie, then the next day everyone continuing on like nothing had happened. I imagine that's what it was like after I'd left my friend's houses.

There's something about it I can't explain that I really connected to. Overall, though, the message about family hit my soft spot.
