I should have really loved this because like Cathy Rentzenbrink I've always loved books and found comfort in them but there was something about this which meant I never quite connected with her writing. I really don't know what it is because I've read and enjoyed most of the books she discusses but I just never felt the comfort and cosiness in this book that other reviews mention.

This memoir via books feels like one I wish I had written - lots of book overlap. The author takes us through books and reading habits that have been significant to her as she adapted to life and its sometimes quite hard knocks. It's refreshing and reminds me to be thankful for the escape we have in fiction.
