Lit

I have loved Mary Karr's previous books and was excited to see this book hit the shelves. I even snatched it up in hardback- NEW (a rare splurge).

This book had to share my “currently reading” stack for awhile, so maybe that contributed to my never getting into it, but it just didn't move me forward through the story like Cherry or Liar's Club did. Her writing is beautiful as always and the story is painfully raw as ever, so I felt bad when I set it aside. But I had to admit defeat and couldn't make it to the end...Sorry, Mary. I'll still buy your next book. In trade paper. :)
