A review by chelsss_ann
In Pieces by Sally Field

sad slow-paced

3.0

I felt so uninspired by In Pieces. Even when it came time to create the photo for this review. Nothing felt right because I just didn't connect to this book in any way. That's not to say that Sally Field hasn't had a rough life. There are definitely experiences that she never should have gone through, both in childhood and as an adult. But I just couldn't bring myself to feel any emotion besides boredom with this book.

Actually, I did feel an emotion...anger. Anger at Sally's mother. Especially when she admitted that she knew about the abuse Sally faced as a child. My jaw literally dropped. Yet at the same time I know it was just part of a cycle that had not yet been broken in that family.

While I didn't necessarily enjoy this book, I'm glad I didn't DNF it. I still learned a bit about Sally Field and that's ultimately what this book was about.
