| The first half of the novel was funny, engaging, bringing the 80s college experience to life. Then… the story jumped way ahead in a rushed, schmaltzy way. Not sure what the writer was thinking… | |

| Hall tackles her childhood in rural Vermont. She doesn’t hold back. Sex, illness, trailer parks, finding her way out and also understanding the place she grew up defines her. Recommend. | |
