    Not her best
  

*by S***S on Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2017*

I purchased this because I had read Anne Lamott's book on writing, 
  
Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life







  
  
    , Her voice in that was so engaging and pleasant I wanted to experience her voice in fiction. Surely she could work wonders with fiction. No. She is a promiscuous twenty-three year old drug addict whose father has surgery for a brain tumor. I would feel terrible about the spoilers, except there's nothing to spoil. Even the real life situation about which it is written has a more profound ending. I understand that she was writing this during and after the passing of her father, however, I would argue that she is very fortunate to have gotten it published. And I suppose we are too, because she obviously improved in her writing, drastically so. This book was intended to be a funny book about cancer. To fill a gap that was not yet covered, but what she thinks is funny just seems awkward at best. True, the cancer experience is tough to make funny, but my advice would be skip this one. It is quite honestly the most boring book I have ever finished.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Maybe her best -- and also her first -- novel!
  

*by S***R on Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2013*

Anne Lamott's books always leave me marveling at her down-to-earth honest observations about her characters (often real people in her life in the non-fiction books) and the realities of life.  This one was exceptional that way, and I enjoyed her insights and humor (always) so much that I sent copies of it to two young women I know, one of whom is going through her own father's treatment for lymphatic cancer.  This book is quintessentially Anne Lamott at her best!
