Book Description:
From Mary Karr comes this gorgeously written, often hilarious story of her tumultuous teens and sexual coming-of-age. Picking up where the bestselling The Liars' Club left off, Karr dashes down the trail of her teen years with customary sass, only to run up against the paralyzing self-doubt of a girl in bloom. Fleeing the thrills and terrors of adolescence, she clashes against authority in all its forms and hooks up with an unforgettable band of heads and bona-fide geniuses. Parts of Cherry will leave you gasping with laughter. Karr assembles a self from the smokiest beginnings, delivering a long-awaited sequel that is both "bawdy and wise".

If you liked the liar's club, you will enjoy this follow-up tale of Karr's experience through her teens.
Heather D. (Great book ! Mary Karr is a terrific storyteller Love her books!Great stories about growing up in smalltown Texas,
Read "The Liar's Club" first and then enjoy this story of growing up and finding out who you will become. Poignant and full of wisdom.
Sequel to The Liar's Club - interesting memoir - not as good as Liar's Club but interesting to find out what happened to the girl as she was growing up.
This book is wonderful and has so much in it that is familiar to everyone. The book is about first loves, relationships with parents, friends who are getting older and growing apart and so much more.
The sequel to the bestselling "Liars' Club"-the gorgeously written, hilarious story of Mary Karr's tumultuous teens and sexual coming-of-age.
"Astonishing...one of the most dazzling and moving memoirs to come along in years...Karr's most powerful tool is her language, which she wields with the virtuosity of both a lyric poet and an earthy, down-home Texan." - The New York Times
