pickA difficult story with a hopeful/happy ending.
This memoir is something else! The author was raised by two very mentally ill parents and was helping her dad deal drugs when she was a preschooler.
Unbelievable. Powerful. Well told. Well-written.
Hello #SheSaid!
My book has arrived, so the schedule is up and ready to go!
Hello #She Said!
I know a few of us have had issues getting ahold of this book in the US…not sure why it‘s available in Canada, England, Australia, but not on the US. I got her first book just fine…BUT I do not like being told I can NOT read something. It makes me want to read it more.
I know it is price-prohibitive for us all to order it from overseas, so I have a suggestion. Let me tag everyone & let you know what I‘m thinking in the comments.
so-so⭐️⭐️⭐️ I barely even know who Tendler‘s famous ex-husband is, and that‘s because I had to google him, so that held zero bearing on my opinion. Celeb gossip isn‘t my strong point. This is tough because everyone has a story to tell, and memoir lends itself to freedom of expression and self indulgence. The discussions around mental health were good, relatable. But some of this went off the rails for me. I didn‘t love it, nor the title / cover combo.
Hello #SheSaid
This is supposed to be our next read, but I‘m having a difficult time getting a copy here in the US. Is anyone else having issues?
pickA lot of gasping out loud and laughing while I listened to this, polar extremes for this mind blowing memoir. Dana grew up in rural Indiana with two parents who had mental illness and a drug trafficking business. Her dad put her to work when she go kicked out of preschool cutting up weed for dine bags and acting as a lookout when he did business 🤦🏻♀️
pickThis short book reflects the history of one woman who spent many years as a sex worker. We learn her history growing up and what led her into this line of work. We learn about her long term relationship with a client and we also learn who she is today. Several insights into men and relationships hit home.
@Chelsea.Poole Ran right out and got this one. Thanks for a very interesting read!
so-soOh look, another memoir. This one about the author‘s struggles mentally and her subsequent experiences with inpatient treatment. This is one of those dual timelines, one featuring her more recent hospitalization and then everything that came before it. I was a bit unclear what dates/ages some events occurred. Much about the ways men have caused harm in many ways, plus her French bulldog. Love this cover art and title!
