I am so far behind the rest of the “class” on reading this book but I feel like I had an epiphany reading it that I can’t quite articulate.  And I’m not giving this five stars because I think it’s good (it is in my opinion but who knows, maybe it’s not) but because it was like looking in a mirror and not necessarily liking the reflection but being able to accept that it appears the way it does.  This will probably stay in my top five books ever for a long, long while.
