laurel [the suspected bibliophile]’s review of Wildfire Days: A Woman, a Hotshot Crew, and the Burning American West > Likes and Comments

I’ve heard the “why are you sharing all this” note a few times now, and truly: I thought I had to. I thought I wasn’t allowed to be honest about other people unless I was brutally honest about myself. “Be the worst person on the page,” as Mary Karr said. Now it turns out not everyone does that in memoir...?? WHAT. lol.
Anyway, thank you so much & I’m glad you enjoyed it!!

Oh, I'm not complaining!! THANK YOU for sharing. (and you were not the worst person on the page and you treated everyone really fairly).

And, I am going to say this with all of the love in my chest: stay off GR. DO NOT READ YOUR REVIEWS. As a general rule, not because there's anything in them.

Sound advice that I will do my best to follow!! Appreciate you <3 <3
