The Rules Do Not Apply by Ariel Levy

2.0

So torn on this. I'd read her essay that she wrote before this full memoir, and was really captivated by it, so I thought I was going to love this more than I did. I still thought the writing was really good and there were snippets that really stood out, so maybe it should have just been a series of short stories? I think part of my issue was also that SO many tragic things happened to her, it almost numbed the effect of each of them.
