Quirky fun read. Very honest and worth it for a giggle or two.

Really enjoyed this chapter about Poe that gave you some subtle hints into his childhood. This chapter was full of excitement and constant movement. Good stuff.

Won this book in a Giveaway here on Goodreads and feel completely guilty for only reading 82 pages. I could no longer handle the depth of abuse this woman's mother had suffered as a child during the Great Depression. As a mother of four I can attest that any level of physical or emotional abuse to anyone of any age is unacceptable... but what I was reading I found contemptable.

The author's voice came across a bit staccato, the way the story unvails through journaling is unique and almost leaves the role of her daughter unnecessary... Overall I would consider giving this author another chance.

omg omg omg.... it should be illegal to end a book that way!!? I cannot believe what I just read! Without question I'll be reading the final installment! Holy crap...

Adorable book about balancing faith with life struggles and opening your heart and home. Lovely.

Beautiful poetry intertwined with a lovely poem.

Loved this read! An Altruistic approach to life, lead through compassion for oneself and others.

I really enjoyed this read. Especially when the action picked up! the second half of this book went soooo fast!

This book really is saucy, but the back and forth between these characters drove me fckn insane! Overall enjoyed this super quick read but was glad it was over.

Love this book! Totally found my new passed time!

really liked this insighful view of mindfulness practices in love... pg 11 reads

‘Recognizing True Love'
“True love gives us beauty, freshness, solidity, freedom, and peace. True love includes a feeling of deep joy that we are alive. If we don't feel this way when we feel love, then it's not true love.”

Much of the book reads like this and is something as the human race we all should be striving for.

This book was clever amd the memoirs speak volumes in 6 words.. amazing.

beautiful, brilliant, intelligent, illuminating, simply a great read...

very good, very close to the tv series, with only a few changes

highly entertaining...looking forward to the next installment

Beautiful book about saying what's important. 20 rules to live by including solitude, humility, love and death....each with its own little story attached. Personally learned a lot. Definitely a book to be read over and over!

Loved this book. Brought me back to my childhood at the Jersey Shore while being thought provoking enough in subject matter to keep my feet on the ground. May not have appreciated the stunted ending but not enough to drop a single star.

Lovely book of short essays about looking back on life...

done done done...finally

IN-TENSE

“there's an unexpected power coming from care that I choose to interpret as divine.”

Educational and whitty enjoyed this short read very much!

...

I saw it coming...but I read on regardless unheading the warnings...unbelieving.

By the gods...the feels.

This was a book club pick for October very fitting. There are a lot of pros and cons to this book. The similarities between this and the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo...the writing style...point of view...that outrageous twist at the end...and yet I'm torn on whether or not I'll pick up Taylor Jackson book 2. Hmm. Guess we'll see.

I read this for a book club, it was not something I would have normally picked up, but it was the most perfect read. Can't wait to discuss.
