I really enjoyed it.

I was anticipating a rather depressing experience. However, to my great surprise, I found myself laughing out loud while lying in bed at night.

This thing had such a remarkable effect that it made both me and my family feel a little less dysfunctional.

Or perhaps it just made us feel okay about being as dysfunctional as we are.

It's quite amazing how something could have such an impact on our emotions and perceptions.

It brought a sense of lightness and relief to our otherwise chaotic lives.

We often tend to focus on the negative aspects of our family dynamics, but this experience made us realize that there can be moments of joy and laughter even in the midst of it all.

It made us appreciate the little things that can bring a smile to our faces and a sense of warmth to our hearts.

Overall, it was a truly wonderful and unexpected discovery that I will cherish for a long time.

The only Lamott book that I didn't love, or even enjoy, was a bit of a disappointment. I had heard such great things about her writing, but this particular work just didn't resonate with me. Maybe it was the subject matter, or perhaps the style didn't quite click. I found myself struggling to get through the pages, and by the end, I still didn't have that sense of satisfaction that I usually get from a good book. It's not that it was a bad book per se, but it just didn't meet my expectations. I'll still give Lamott another chance in the future, as I know she is a talented author, but this one just wasn't for me.

This is the first book of Anne Lamott's that I have ever read.

My friends will be extremely surprised because it is fiction, and I am typically a nonfiction girl.

I fell deeply in love with this book when I read it in my 20s.

The story seemed to speak directly to my heart, captivating me from the very first page.

I was completely immersed in the characters and their lives, experiencing their joys and sorrows along with them.

However, when I tried to reread it in my 30s, it didn't have the same powerful resonance.

Perhaps my perspective had changed, or maybe the magic of that particular time in my life was gone.

Nevertheless, I still remember it as a true love from my 20s, a book that had a profound impact on me and will always hold a special place in my heart.

This is such a great book!! ♥ It truly captivates the reader from the very first page. The story is filled with excitement, adventure, and heartwarming moments. The characters are well-developed and easy to relate to, making you feel as if you are a part of their journey. The author's writing style is engaging and descriptive, painting a vivid picture in your mind. Whether you are a fan of fiction or non-fiction, this book has something for everyone. It is a must-read that will leave you with a sense of fulfillment and a desire to pick it up again and again. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a great read. ♥
