Cherry by Mary Karr

4.0

So basically, this is a good book, but it doesn't hold a candle to her previous memoir, "The Liars Club." That book was transcendent in its exploration of what it means to craft the story of your own past. "Cherry," in contrast, lacks a unifying theme (is it about sex? Drugs? Surfing?). Still, no one writes like Karr. As a poet, she just kills it in her descriptive language. So I look forward now to moving on to the last book in her trilogy, "Lit," which seems to be the most highly regarded of the bunch.
