Well didn’t really expect to love this book but walked away so impressed with Barbara for having written about a persons whole life in such fullness. Something she said in the last couple of chapters about trying to locate the first seeds of where everything starts to go wrong, or go right, felt really victorious. Sometimes she says goofy stuff a teen boy wouldn’t say, esp when she describes sex 😵‍💫but love her for trying. I’ll go visit devils bathtub next summer after the buzz dies down a bit.
