I hesitated to pick up this book because I had seen so many conflicting reviews of it. However, I am glad I finally did. Doyle addresses so many topics in this memoir that readers from all walks of life are bound to find a chapter or two that resonates with them. For me, I could not really relate to her insights on parenting, as I am not a parent myself. However, other topics she writes about (living with mental illness, wanting to advocate for others, and even challenging religious beliefs) struck a chord with me. Others have criticized this book for being "too whiny" and "being contradicting at times" which I can definitely see. These criticisms are valid, but I would argue that Doyle wrote this book for herself. Sometimes life is contradictory and/or really unpleasant. The fact that she didn't try to polish her thoughts for this memoir actually made me enjoy it tremendously as the writing felt honest.
