Okay, so to understand why I picked this up and why it was so poignant for me, I have to get really personal for a minute. My dad was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer, which has spread to his bone, brain, and kidneys; he recently stopped chemo and was given 3-6 weeks to live. I’ve been looking for books dealing with loss, and this one popped up in my search a few times and I passed it by because, […]

I don’t dress this way because I like it so much or because I want people to […]

I honestly don’t know how I felt about this book. There were times I loved it, times I hated it, and times when it just flat out pissed me off. It was a crazy and aggravating emotional rollercoaster. The title is absolutely perfect for it! The main reason for the times I hated this book was Abby. She was pretty normal in the beginning, but just started to tick me off in the last half. Her ignorance made me want […]
