After reading reviews of people being somewhat disapointed that this book did not have the slapstick comedy Tara is known for I did my best to go into this with an open mind. I opened this book with no expectations. I removed the author from the story and was deeply touched. I felt like I have known Addison Snow my entire life. I feel like at any moment growing up and even now I could have been her. My mother suffers from mental illness and attempting suicide has become a side hobby for her. I wake up every day knowing that this could be my last day with her and it is terrifying. Up until recently I never wanted to consider a life without her or the possibility of being happy once she's gone. Reading this book has helped reduce some of that anxiety. I'm so glad that I had not read this book prior to meeting Tara because I think I would have made a fool out of myself by demanding a hug and crying on her shoulder. I would highly suggest this book for anyone that has lost a loved one, anyone that suffers or has suffered from depression or self dought. This book is for the person that is looking for or given up on the possiblity of inner strength.
