Helpful Score: 1

I read some of the other reviews of this book and found, for the most part, all were quite positive. The book kept my attention for the most part but I did find myself speed reading through parts because I found it quite repetitive. I found myself wondering why Ms. Metz would want to bare her soul to the world in such a way and why she couldn't move on and wanted to keep her emotions so raw by digging into the past in such a way. I don't feel she had anything to hide and, from personal experience I know sometimes anger and grief need release, perhaps this was her release. It is obvious she felt her betrayal quite deeply and couldn't move on until she had excised it from her soul. I hope her daughter is much more resilient than her mom since all this drama, starting at the age of 6, must have been very confusing and upsetting for her to experience, the father's death, her mother's angst, depression and anger must have been hard for her to understand.
Overall, I liked the book but it was painful to read in parts and I felt for Ms. Metz.
