I felt conflicted the entire time reading this book. In a way I can relate to Adrienne with regards to having a narcissistic and selfish parent that loves herself exponentially more than she loves her children. On the other hand, coming from a home-life where my parents are together, I can't imagine vying for a parent's love so desperately that I would help them have an affair. I think Adrienne did a great job with not making herself out to be a complete victim, but also you can't be that upset with her role in her mother's affair. Margot is my favorite. I love that she loves books and cats because same. I prefer when non-fiction that reads like fiction, and that describes this book accurately. I am sad that the Wild Game cook book never came about. I wish the author would have finished it up and had it published or added some of the recipes to accompany this book. Not that I would be able to make any of the recipes because I don't eat meat, but still. It would have been cool to see it come together at the end. I also scoured Adrienne Brodeur's ig feed to try to glimpse the necklace and couldn't find it. I wonder if she still has it...
