I Came All This Way to Meet You: Writing Myself Home by Jami Attenberg

3.0

---

Sometimes this author is annoying (who is she to have all these feelings and thoughts and to have an entire book to fill them) and sometimes she writes a sentence or a paragraph that really packs a punch. The style is eminently readable; she is good with language, no doubt. I think perhaps it was too much for me all in one book. If I had just read a portion here and there, I would say "ah, that resonates." So, a 3 star may be overly harsh.

Still, there's something of a narcissistic tone here, unlike some other memoirs. Is a memoir inherently narcissistic? Nah.
