A few weeks ago, out in blogland there was a huge buzz about this book. I had to read it. In fact, I purchased it the day it was released in stores. That night I mowed through the first seventy-five pages. I found it all lovely. Yet, I couldn't help notice that I was rushing through it. This is not a book to rush through.
Ann has a very unique writing style that takes a bit to get used to. I took the time to go back and reread the chapters that I had so hastily plowed through. So glad I did. This is not a light, fluffy, and easy book. It is challenging. It will have you squirming on the inside. You will connect with the stories. You will nod your head in agreement. Have a pen or pencil ready to underline those passages that will jump at you.

Sounds like a good book...I love the cover photo of a nest with eggs! This is the first I've actually heard of it...
ReplyDeletei'm going to have to check this out. amazon reviewers definitely liked it! like your new blog :).
ReplyDeleteI'm reading it, too. I'm on Chapter 7 and it rocks my world. I think part of it is seeing her on the book club vlogs. It's so awesome to HEAR her after reading.
