chandle5's review against another edition
challenging
emotional
medium-paced
1.5
I hated this book. I hated these parents. I hated the lack of accountability. I hated that the kids continued to let them in their lives. I hate that the summary describes this book as a testament to unconditional love. I hate it. My stomach literally hurts thinking of the things, specifically the mom most of the time, said and did and withheld from her children.
The only reason this gets any kind of rating is that Jeannette overcame this kind of childhood and became a beautiful writer.
