Strong start with some interesting stories and thoughtful messages, but it wavered in the doldrums of show choir stories and too many names to keep track of. If you're going to read this book, though, listening to the author read it is the only way to go. The audiobook gives the stories an authenticity that let me make believe I was at a storytelling event in NYC.

I really enjoyed this book! Mara is a great writer, with a fresh voice and a basket full of wit. As a childhood fan of hers, I was very excited to read it. She did not disappoint! Definitely worth checking out.
