The writing in this book was great. The author is does a great job describing her interesting life and all the different characters she meets along the way. I really liked the first several chapters where the author writes about her childhood in Oakland, CA with her grandparents.

Things head downhill once she grows up, becomes a model, and starts using drugs. I'm always baffled by stories of adults accepting drugs from their friends without knowing what kind of effects they may have on them. I can't imagine popping a pill or snorting a line of something just because I was at a party and everyone else was doing it. This sort of behavior seems very child-like. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/77823014 to: Amy and Isabelle: A Novel (Paperback) by Elizabeth Strout

I thought this was an interesting collection of stories about people living in a small town in Maine. I liked the main character Olive, even though she was a bit abrasive. Be warned that that "F" word pops up quite often. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/77822947 to: Olive Kitteridge: A Novel in Stories (Paperback) by Elizabeth Strout
