| I received this book for Christmas because I am a big Kathy Griffin fan. While her humor isn't for everybody I have to say reading her book added so many other dimesions to her as a person. There is a lot more to her than just being a comedian. She h...more | |

| What to say about this book? I have been a fan of The Mama's and the Papa's for years and years so I was not sure that I wanted to know the awful details behind Mackenzie's accusations about her father. Candid and dramatic her life story is very path...more | |

I was really glad I finished this triology. While this was definitely the darkest of the three it wrapped up some dangling loose ends for me and left me feeling fine about Tally's fate.
I really loved the character of Zane, I wished there would have...more |

“The Road Not Taken
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.”
― Robert Frost

“the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes 'Awww!' What did they call such young people in Goethe's Germany?”
