What the heck did I just read...
I went into this book not knowing anything about it, and yes, I must have been living under a rock to manage that, and oh my goodness am I the more glad for it. I will say, I wasn't expecting this book to bring up as many memories and shames of my own past as it did, so it really took me a while to get through it, and my poor husband had to put up with my throwing my phone across the couch and then pacing around the house to process what I'd just read. I definitely don't think this book is for the feint of heart, but what a rush.
