bronski's review against another edition
3.0
I enjoyed Thomas' honest writing style. It really felt like she was letting the reader into her most private thoughts which can't be an easy thing to do. The stories are very brief, sometimes only paragraphs long, but it makes it easy to read with a busy lifestyle. I found her insight on certain subjects such as grief to be quite valuable and look forward to reading more of her work in the future.

2.5-3 stars. Read like a diary that was sectioned off by themes. It wasn't bad but it wasn't impressive either.

Recommended by a friend, this memoir immediately drew me in. I enjoy the way the author describes her relationships, her life experiences, her passions.
This book isn’t what I was expecting, but exactly what I felt like reading all at the same time.

I'm rounding down on my rating. Parts were brilliant.

I could be her at 70. Writing, painting, dealing with messy family situations the best I can, enjoying the grandkids, but enjoying most of all naps with my dogs.

2.5/5 rounded to 3. I had no idea who Abigail Thomas was or what this book was about before picking it up. Having read it, I can safely say I still have no idea what it was about. But, I liked listening to it; Abigail Thomas has a calming voice.
