review 1: This memoir is about twice as long as it should be. Jones gets monotonous at times, refusing to set boundaries with her alcoholic, verbally abusive mother, even at the expense of her own daughter. From personal experience, I found this tedious and maddening. I enjoyed the literary references, but Jones definitely idealized her father, every bit as much an alcoholic as her mother. Granted, her mother was viciously cruel, and her father was not.
review 2: Usually when I read memoirs it takes me a while to get into them but just from the title and first page I found myself addicted. I felt myself go through a whirlwind of emotions-her mother made me laugh, her mother made me cry and her mother just made me feel angry. What Kaylie grew up around and what she group ... moreup hearing was different from most kids. Her parents were not the typical ones they were different and as a child she grew up in the party life. And everything seemed fine but as Kaylie grows up she realizes the true relationships she has with people especially her mother. And through her journey of nostalgic memories, grief and alcoholism we learn more and more of the problems of her mother and how that really could have the toll on her. less
