Three stars. I grew up with Brooke and wanted for quite a while to read this book. Iloved her book about her post partum depression, and had hoped this book would be written the same way. There were parts where she droned on and on... I tried not to skim! But I thought, what is your point here? we are not your therapists! You love her, you hate her, that I understand, but so many un needed details! There were times, my eyes filled with tears, as I also have had a troubling relationship with a mother, and wanted more than she could give- those were the parts of the book I could relate to. But near the end when there were pages and pages of descriptions of decorating a house... un necessary. Worth a read, but make sure you have enough time set aside to get through the difficult descriptions.
