"Astonishing...one of the most dazzling and moving memoirs to come along in years...Karr's most powerful tool is her language, which she wields with the virtuosity of both a lyric poet and an earthy, down-home Texan." - The New York Times

The sequel to the bestselling "Liars' Club"-the gorgeously written, hilarious story of Mary Karr's tumultuous teens and sexual coming-of-age.
Helpful Score: 1
This book is wonderful and has so much in it that is familiar to everyone. The book is about first loves, relationships with parents, friends who are getting older and growing apart and so much more.
Helpful Score: 1
Sequel to The Liar's Club - interesting memoir - not as good as Liar's Club but interesting to find out what happened to the girl as she was growing up.

If you liked the liar's club, you will enjoy this follow-up tale of Karr's experience through her teens.
A little slow at first but an excellent read. Probably makes sense to read this prior to Lit by Mary Karr but I didn't and managed to enjoy both anyway. Funny, witty and so truthful. Enjoy.
