Solid read. I wasn't sure I'd like it because it's non fiction and I struggle with those. The book made me feel a lot of different emotions and I rooted for all the children in the story.

I don't normally read memoirs but this book was picked by friends and family to read for 2016. It's a true story about the author. It was heartbreaking to read.

After reading Half Broke Horses with my in-person book group, I knew I'd have to read The Glass Castle. Although there were multiple scenes that were hard to read, this story was very well written. There were moments that were laugh out loud funny, and moments so unfathomable I was almost in disbelief; this story will stick with me for quite some time.
