Loved the zany stories but also how the memoir turned toward a more cohesive research and exploration of different types of group living. As someone newly interested in intentional community and its various forms, reading about the pitfalls of such communities from longtime practitioners was a valuable reminder. This book reminded me that building relationships and intimacy is always an act of community and effort, no matter whether you live in a group house, a cohousing community or a single family home with a spare room.
Also it's fun to read about how children of hippies grow up! My family was nothing like Lola's but I loved reading about hers.
