Very honest and heartfelt.

I feel like this is a 10 memoirs jam packed into one which made me feel overwhelmed. I loved how she wrote about love. I only wished I knew the ages and timeframes this took place? I can count on my fingers the year/ date she gave. So I had no idea how old the writer or her partner was it ...or what year they were living in. Did she want to make the book timeless?

Other than that as a lesbian that loves love stories, I am glad I found this book. I will have to reread it.
