This wildly humorous debut examines the complexities of family and human emotions, while providing insight into an often misunderstood disorder.
This book gets better and better as I read it. There are some great surprises in this book that I won’t reveal. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a “true” story. Very raw and honest. Would be a great group of books to read. Many things to discuss.
