I like Lamott's writing style and in this case it felt like she had lived some of my life! Could not put the book down - good page turner! Can't wait to read a few more of her books - and get them into circulation with PBS.

Funny without meaning to be and very real in all the right ways. All New People is a gem.

I usually love this author, but found this book depressing and disappointing.
