This is a deliciously bittersweet read, with very vivid and real characters, most of whom are difficult to like.

Tai labai lengvai skaitoma knyga. Vertimas į lietuvių kalbą labai girtinas. Autorės istorija nors ir sunki, bet labai tikra.

The autobiography is written very well and allows an effortless reading. The translation to lithuanian language notable. Story definitely not the easiest but very real.
