I gotta say it. Twenty Twenty is turning out to be a year of branching out of my reading comfort zone……and falling in love with what I try. Again, I’m not a big memoir reader but I’ve read a few recently that just instantly grip me and make me feel better about myself. This one…..this one is a phenomenally written and absolutely captivating. I loved it!

As some who has dealt with the death of my own mother, helping my father through his own cancer battle, and struggling with my own severe anxiety and depression, I felt an absolute connection to Lesser as I read this. I felt as if each essay was written just for me. Her inclusion of fashion was wonderfully down.

The writing style of Lesser is superbly unique. Again, I don’t normally read Memoirs but lately, I’m falling in love with them. Lesser’s memoir left me in tears, wishing my mama could have read this with me. But, it did more than that. It gave me hope. It gave me a new friend. It gave me laughs and lessons I’ll cherish for ever. Grab a copy of this book now! You won’t be sorry.
