Tara's childhood was unusual in that she lived in various areas of NYC, due to the fact that her father, mother, and grandparents had such different life styles. The story flows well, as she remembers interesting details about her childhood, but did not try to write in a child's voice. Clancy is still young, so the memoir is a coming of age story of a whirlwind of a child, in a very loving extended family. She does write about the realization that she is lesbian and although some of her stand-up is a bit bold, the book is understated and not gratuitous. Although it is an adult book, it should be appropriate for teens. Book received in goodreads contest with expectation of a fair/honest review
