Ruth, a mother figure to Patty, emphatically tells her, “I love you now. I'll love you forever" and "Even if you forget everything else I want you to always remember that you are a person of value.”

Interesting. Not exactly what I expected, but overall a good story.

Who put this book on a “best-of” list? Stupid.

Wow. Her dad is an ass.

Indeed. So fun.

I‘m on a big biography kick right now, clearly. This was a really interesting read. I‘m really enjoying being able to hear things put in the words of the people who were the most effected. It was a bit distressing to hear how thoroughly the tv industry failed the Dugger kids, long past when they could reasonably be called kids, and in new and wild ways from how it fails most child actors.

With just a few days to spare, I finished the last state (Arkansas!) for the #ReadAroundTheUSChallenge! Set at University of AK, this follows a visiting professor/writer, an RA with goals for after graduation & a suite of young women with their own problems of varying intensity. Very different from my own college experience, the characters do come to life, but it sort of makes the reader feel like an eavesdropper along with the characters!

I was so confused by stories I had no idea what they were about and couldn't finish it.

Enjoy!

I read this one over the summer (so behind on reviews). It was ok, an interesting book about class, money, race, power dynamics. I liked her first book more. Her books definitely try to make you think more about situations that can arise & the bigger dynamics within society.
