Helpful Score: 2

This was an interesting and well-written memoir. Gillies has a really approachable, informal tone that makes her easy to relate to despite her super-WASPy background. Interesting insights into small college town. The one thing that I found jarring was the abrupt ending of the narrative, followed by a note about her current relationship with some of the principal people in the memoir. I guess that in the four years since the events in the book she's had time to move on, but it's kind of a leap to make in a few pages.
