I found this book really hard to get into and quite dissappointing. I don't know if I am just jaded from reading similar books, but it didn't the stories of the author growing up with alcoholic disfunctional parents were neither strangely amusing nor heart-wrenching. I found myself simply pittying the author and her siblings, while not identifying with her or developing any sense of compassion for her parents. All in all, I would not reccommend this book.
