kscrimshaw 's review for:
I think this could have been a good book with some major editing, but as it is, it struck me more as a series of blog posts than one cohesive unit. Throughout the book, Gill pulls off one hat and puts on another (now I'm being funny, now I'm being inspirational, now I'm being touching) but each voice lacks depth. The situations (e.g, having a slumber party as an adult) didn't really provide enough hilarity or tension to be interesting on their own - the risks she takes all come with a huge scaffold of safety nets - and every point of weakness she exposes (e.g., fear of putting her head under water) is counterpointed by how bright and capable she is. Learning to drive in the city might have been a big deal to her, but getting into a car, honking at a truck and being told by the instructor what a great driver she is, really doesn't make for interesting reading.
