I picked this up and read it in one sitting. I found the story and the subject matter to be fascinating and kept on looking up information on the Maynard family. Sadly, I related with Joyce's strong need to accomplish and do things and how driven she was.

I was also fascinated by her affair with Salinger. I like his work, but I'm convinced that he is a horrible asshole. Maynard has had an interesting life and I liked the candid nature of this memoir.
