Nobody Will Tell You This But Me: A True (as Told to Me) Story by Bess Kalb
emotional
reflective
medium-paced
4.0
Medium paced, but easy to read quickly, this book is a lovely reflection on a life full of personality. While you won't have the same reference points, it feels familiar and you can imagine the equivalent conversations with your own family as you read it.
On that note - if you have a tense or uncomfortable relationship with your own mother/grandmother, I'd probably not recommend this to you. The characters aren't perfect, but in the end there's a lot of love going around, so if your own relationshiops have headed in a different direction it may be a little hard to read.
