This was so great. Highly recommend the audio because she's not just reading what she wrote, she's telling the story. She cries, she laughs- mostly laughs, though there is some real pain here. It's so candid and you really get a sense of her as a person. I'm not a "super fan" of her work that I've seen (I say this just to n te that you don't need to be too like this book), nor do I usually choose memoirs or biographies, but always thought she seemed delightful, and she really, really is, and just a brilliant, fierce person. It starts to meander a bit as it reaches the more current phases of her life and kind of petered out at the end. But most of the book is SO interesting and she is so funny and heartfelt. A must read.
