A really lovely little memoir about complicated people. I wish Gottlieb had spent less time making references and quotes (particularly as one of them was incorrectly attributed), because they would often distract from whatever insight she would be trying to express. Nevertheless, the book as a whole was incredibly funny, heartbreaking, and life-affirming, as the best of its kind often are. I look forward to reading it again in a few years, and finding something new within its pages.
