Review by JENNIE FAHN

What I liked

Every character was completely real and understandable – from doctors to husband to pieces of furniture (which I especially loved!) It was especially relate-able to us moms who have experienced some of what Brooke has been through…

What I didn't like

loved it all

My overall impression

Hilarious one moment, poignant and terrifying the next, Brooke shares an intimate portrait with sublime expertise – her characterizations are perfection and her storytelling is impeccable. Most impressive is her ability to paint herself as a full, flawed, struggling character – which makes us love her even more. Brava!
