Shocking, Gut Wrenching and Real
It is not often a memoir sucks you so far in that you fail to come up for air until you have turned the last page. In fact, I can only remember one other occurrence of this and that was The Glass Castle, which happens to be one of my FAVORITE books. Given that, it is unsurprising this book was an instant favorite for me.
Adrienne is just 14 years old when the direction of her life is altered by her mother waking her to inform her she'd just kissed Adrienne's step-father's best friend. The next decade is filled with Adrienne assisting her mother in her elicit affair as Adrienne adores being within her mother's magnetic orbit.
The mother-daughter relationship captured within this book is both engaging and disturbing.
