She totally kicks ass. I swear it could have almost been me writing some parts. I wanted to start another memoir-ish short story humor book by a new author I've discovered, Laurie Notaro, but it belongs to me so I should hold off. I have a Sophie Kinsella book to read (Remember Me?) and Nic Sheff's memoir about overcoming his addiction to crystal meth (Tweak). (Beautiful Boy was the father's version of events and was promoted at Starbucks). So....do I want more light and funny (Kinsella) or dark and gritty (Sheff)? Probably going with dark and gritty.
BTW: I'm going to say again, if you haven't seen Sleepers (1996), you must. It was a super great movie and in fact, I got online and ordered the book before the movie was even over. It's one of those movies that stay on your mind for days. *Sigh* Loved it.
