I can’t say I’m glad I read it because it’s not that kind of book. Let’s just say I appreciated it. I would not recommend it to anyone unless I knew them really well and that they could handle the material.

I needed a palate cleanser, so now I’m reading Truly Madly Guilty by Liane Moriarty.

Stay cool everyone!
