Autobiography of a Face by Lucy Grealy

4.0

Well, there's no doubt that Lucy Grealy was a talented writer. Her writing pulls you in and even as she tells you she was lonely as a child, you can't help but also feel like you grew up as best friends. I thought the ending seemed rushed, but I think that might also be more wanting to hear more about her adult life, which absolutely fascinated me in Ann Patchett's Truth and Beauty. I know this was a big book back in the 90s, but I also think it's about as timeless as a memoir gets.
