This isn't a literary novel I realize but Angell is no Mary Karr or Dorothy Allison, either. I'm glad she wrote this book, and hope lots of people find it, so I don't mean to sound too negative. I've got to give it 2 stars, though, because for me the writing marred the pleasure of the subject matter. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/739402?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
