This book alternates between absolutely hilarious and decidedly uncomfortable. It's a good, fun, quick read that I breezed through in two days. The characters are quirky and larger than life, the situations often ridiculous, but all supposedly true, or at least true in the writer's memory.

One thing really bugged me: the misleading subtitle. I interpreted "growing up small" to mean that Zippy/Haven was a little person, but actually she is normal sized and makes several references to being in the back row of pictures because she was among the tallest of her peers.
