emilybilodeau's review

“The waitress was pretty but had a piece of skin hanging from her lip. I couldn't stop staring at it. In my mind, it got bigger and heavier, then detached and plopped into an imagined bowl of steaming broth that widened, forming a bubbling pool, where an imitation of life emerged. I shook my head. The things that transport us can be so random.”

I love Patti

This was interesting, I like memoirs. Pat seems to have done a lot of drugs though, but at the same time this was her working through grief and grief is hard.
