A review by valramirezcruz
The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls

5.0

Despite sharing absolute horror stories from her childhood, Jeannette's ability to maintain her humor and portray her childhood optimism so unabashedly while remaining extremely candid is what makes this my top favorite book of all time. At the same time, this book is a perfect capsule of extreme poverty and mental health struggles in America. It's an impactful read for those who have lived a sheltered and privileged life but it never strays from being relatable all the same.

I could go on for hours but I might as well start my 9th read through. And maybe while I'm at it, buy a new copy that's cover hasn't completely fallen off it's binding.
