I am Angry... but I liked it

I really do feel for Adrienne Brodeur and I am elated she ended this memoir happily married with kids of her own. I cannot imagine having a mother like hers: someone who is so blissfully unaware of her choices and how they affect everyone around her. And most of all, altering the life of her own fourteen year old daughter for decades to come. The book itself is written very smoothly and was easy to read. I'd also be lying if I said it didn't make me hungry too. The only reason it doesn't get the fifth star from me is that some of the chapters feel repetitive and therefore, made the book a bit boring at times. I'd catch myself waiting for the next big event to happen whether that was another meeting between Malabar and Ben or for Adrienne to keep growing up. Other than that, this book elicited many emotions from me, but mostly anger. Anger toward Malabar and hope for Adrienne to stand up for herself. While I really enjoyed this book, I think it could've been about 50 pages shorter.
