This was the book for our book club this month. It is a light, quick read that left me feeling positive which I did not expect. Curious what others thought of the book.

I enjoyed it. I think it handled some heavy subject matter in a fun and inspiring way.

I really liked it too. I found it very poignant.

I'm a work in progress.

Oddly, I think I may read it again this month. I think it has you examine yourself in a gentle, non-threatening way. Also, it helped me to view my life from a birds-eye view verses an in-the-trenches view, that was helpful and a bit healing for me. Granted, you can't live in the birds-eye view, but it makes me wonder will I see the A as a blip in my life?

So yeah, I really liked this book, almost to the point that I credit it to a small step forward in my recovery.
