3.5 stars rounded up.

I don't normally read memoirs, but I liked how this read like a fiction novel to me. What Adrienne went through being involved in her mother's affair is not something a normal child should go through. I honestly thought Malabar was an awful mother. She was so selfish and should have never involved her daughter in her affair. She didn't care how it affected Adrienne's life in any way and that really bothered me. I know a lot of people said how broken or complicated Malabar was, but to me she was just a really self-centered person.
