Very good- very fun. My kind of memoir. Always from a kind of screwed up past, bad dad kinda thing but made it funny.

I only made it not even half way through this book... I think the cover intrigued me more than the book! I really tried to muddle through it, but it seemed far too preposterous and contrived for my taste. She does jump around A LOT. I read Haven Kimmel's 'A girl Named Skippy' ....by far, my favorite memoir and much more believable.
