5.0

There’s nothing better than a witty and gritty memoir, and that’s exactly what Group is. It’s hopeful and humorous and honest (Tate seriously does not hold back) and exactly what I needed to read right now.

I’m not only impressed by the raw and moving story Tate tells, but also how she goes about telling it. She does a truly incredible job of padding complex, dark, and emotional stories with moments of levity and humor. Everything (like, for real, nothing held back) is handled with beautiful care.

Dax Shepard is thanked in the acknowledgments, and I totally see the parallels between Group and Armchair Expert — I can’t imagine liking one but not the other.

I just loved this book and am really, really glad it was written.

Thanks a ton to Avid Reader Press, Christie Tate, and NetGalley for the ARC!
