pickListen to the audio! Such an emotional roller coaster ride is this woman‘s life. I felt a lot of truth and vulnerability throughout the book and felt connected. I love an audiobook read by the author, especially a memoir. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Next non fiction read . . . Hopefully won't take me a year to finish this time.
pickGreat story perseverance
pickI could not put this down. I am so glad that I got this one. What a beautiful and inspiring and very hard story to read. This woman went through a lot. It reminded me a little bit of Wild or Eat, Pray, Love. But, this was more relatable for me. I loved this story and this woman got into my heart. I rooted for her all the way through this book. I loved this so much.
pickI ended up really enjoying this book, and I cried a lot! I admit it was hard not to harshly judge the author in the beginning, and after multiple of her stupid mistakes. But it‘s a great read, and really pushes themes of forgiveness and living in the present. (33)
⭐️: 4/5
pickThis book ❤️❤️❤️ so many times while LLH was telling me her story I was saying “No No No” and almost in tears, or in actual tears while she told tme something else. This is a 5 ⭐️ book. What phenomenal perseverance she has and what an eye opening look at the justice system this is
I treated myself to the new iPad Air with the back pay the government owed me for freezing teacher wages ( they did nurses too and not fire and police - things that make you go hmm) I wanted it for Pinterest recipes and craft and cook books in my kindle. So now I have my book playing on my phone and recipes on my iPad #livingmybestlife these egg tortilla bakes were so good https://pin.it/2xZCH3z2y
pickDark and comedic, and at times disturbing. I loved how Welsh has managed to develop such complex characters and humanise them, whilst also embedding political and societal issues in this tapestry of vignettes. The code-switching and use of Scots added another layer of richness as well. Might not be for everyone but it‘s a brilliant novel. 8/10
