a True Story

I picked this book up based on the first line of the book. I was about to have a gastric bypass and thought I could relate to the author and her struggles. What I found was a profound look into the life of the author and her family and how one person's struggles don't necessarily become another's learning experience, but rather how people feed... no pun intended... off each other that is not usually a good thing. I found it an easy read, all be it a little boring. It wasn't the "saving grace" I had hoped it would be, but it also wasn't the worst book I had ever picked up. I would say if you like to read and you like memoirs, this is an interesting one, but not a literary masterpiece that will change your thinking, motivate you or change your life. You have to do all that on your own!
