A review by corinth113
The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls

5.0

I feel absolutely wrecked after reading this. You can tell Jeannette and her dad love each other sooo much, and just seeing the glimpses of his love for her in the midst of all this family’s wandering and struggles with alcoholism and poverty really resonated with me. While you shake your head at the level of neglect and irresponsibility towards these children, you also find yourself envious of the real freedom and unattachment the parents have to almost everything. A beautiful, vulnerable memoir that highlights the conflicting emotions that can come from loving your dysfunctional family. :’)
