lriopel 's review for:
Dear Mr. You
by Mary-Louise Parker
Wow, this was impressive. Definitely not the typical "celebrity memoir" some might expect - this is fantastic, artful writing. I wasn't sure what to expect, was not entirely sure I would be a fan of a memoir of a woman, written as a series of letters to the various men who have impacted her life...? Seemed...not feminist, or something?? However, I was surprised to find that the format really worked well, the writing was lovely, and the substance of these "letters" was incredibly engaging. Some sections were poignant, some very funny. Each letter was thoughtful and beautifully constructed, and I thoroughly enjoyed the entire book. I really enjoyed listening to it on audio - read by the author. Highly recommend this one.
