Don't Make Me Turn this Life Around by Camille Pagán, Camille Pagán
3.0
Thank you Net Galley for the opportunity to read this book.
3.5 stars
Don't Make Me Turn this Life Around was a good storyline, but I just found it too bogged down with lessons. I almost felt like it was a fictional self-help book or a parable used for teaching lessons about life. I don't mind that, but it just didn't land for me.
To summarize the book as quickly as possible, it is a book about a family with issues that all almost any family has. This story takes you through some medical, familial, and natural disasters. It shows how this small family navigates the storms.
I get that bad luck happens and most of the time it happens in a relatively short amount of time. Really, it was too much for such a short book. I found it repetitive and thought it could use some editing. I didn't hate it at all. It's a good story. I just think some editing would have helped. It didn't flow as well as it could have.
