Summary: funny and wise, a wonderful combination
Review: I loved this book. I am going to read it again. It's funny, it has wisdom and sorrow, and the writing is very tight. Fantastic read.

Summary: I absolutely LOVE this book
Review: This is one of the best books I have read in a long time. I am a big fan of the 'memoir' genre, and this one was great. I find regular people a lot more interesting than celebrities (who really cares about Anne Heche or Pamela Anderson? Really?)and this book was charming and somewhat whimsical. Unconcerned with time-lines, which don't really matter in this book, she seems to write it as she remembers it--it was like having a conversation about childhood with someone, complete with a few small exaggerations. I would recommend this book to everyone!
