When I first chose this book, I didn't realize it was a memoir. This book was hard to read at times, being a mother, I can't imagine how I would've lived through any of this. This is a story that definitely empowers women and will help you realize that your life could be much worse than it is. It has taught me to be grateful for many things in life. I chose this book for the Goodreads Community Favorites Challenge. I devoured this book and couldn't put it down. I needed to know how it ended as soon as possible and I'm so glad I kept reading through all of the heart-pulling emotions. Congratulations to Lara for her hardwork, in life and in this book. Thank you, Book of the Month Club, for suggesting this one to me.
Love love love this book. The narrator’s voice is funny and smart and honest in a really gut-wrenching way. Addiction is ugly but recovery is beautiful and she captured that in a way that’s really uncommon, I find. I’m so glad I read this book!
Loved this! It kept me interested and I did not want to put it down. I’m getting back into reading and this was the first book I decided on. I feel like a lot of ppl can relate to life struggles while trying to hold it all together while trying to do better once you know better.
