I had a lovely time reading this! I took my time picking through it, as is my preference with a good nonfiction read. It was nice to kick my feet up at the end of a long day and feel like opening my kindle to read this was actually having a cup of tea with my friend Jenny. The writing felt so friendly and familiar -- and it was so funny too! I really enjoyed learning so much about Boylan's life and family and reading through each little anecdote. I will say, I didn't originally think this was a memoir. The synopsis led me to believe this was more narrative nonfiction than personal memoir, so that threw me off for a while. After a bit, though, I stopped caring. I'm still glad I read it. That became the only real criticism I had, and that can really be chalked up to my own personal error, anyway!
