Hey! Best book I have ever read in my life. 👍 A true story, from the point-of-view of a girl, growing up. The first line reads:

"I was sitting in a taxi, wondering if I had overdressed for the evening, when I looked out the window and saw Mum rooting through a dumpster."

-- 'The Glass Castle' by Jeanette Walls, 2005. #ExcellentBooks #GoodReading #Literature #GirlsGrowingUp

I will also, in full honesty, note that I had to overlook a couple of "seriously?" moments. For instance, everyone seems to be able to run around and engage in combat for hours on end and not get tired. They just jump into the next adventure. That, I had to kind of squint past. A couple small things. But this book still lands solidly in the "worth reading" category.

And I just discovered I should use the tags #FediBookstore and #FediFiction. So there's that. :)
