Safekeeping: Some True Stories from a Life by Abigail Thomas

5.0

I read this book in one weekend - I literally couldn't put it down! It only took me 3 days because I was trying to spread it out with the other 2 books I'm currently reading also, at first. After page 25, I knew that I couldn't be reading (or doing much of) anything else until I finished this book. It also gave me so much inspiration in my own writing - a piece that I have been rewriting forever trying to find the right structure - that after finishing reading the book, I went straight into writing ... The characters, the changes in point of view, the short, flash piece format, the emotions -- everything is on point in this book. If you haven't read it yet, you must read it!
