I've happened upon soo many books that I LOVED this year & I keep thinking this has to be the best one yet.... & then I was blindsided by this one. I have so many books burrowed from the library. However I could not take my eyes away from this UGH & it's kept me up well into the night
It was worth the sleep deprivation. Hopefully I'll have more to say about it after a solid nights sleep for the first time this week lol ...more

I don’t give out 5 stars easily. I had just finished ‘Educated’ by Tara Westover and this book was on my TbR so I decided that while I was feeling traumatised by misery lit I would crack on with ‘The Glass Castle’ and boy am I glad I did. This book is moving, sensitive but also somehow moving and uplifting! I’m going to watch the movie tonight if I can find it!
A must read.

This was definitely a 4-1/2 stars. Reminiscent of Educated, but for me so much better. Tragic, funny, inspiring. Unbelievable that Jeannette Walls could come out of this so successful. Strong recommendation
