Reading this book helped me understand better what a awful disease ALS is and how it affects the whole family. I didn't find the book funny, witty or terribly sad. It was a loose account of her battle with ALS and the founding of Project ALS.
Timelines were off, it jumped around, tales were not completed and you were left hanging, and the over use of celebrity names and designers was about to drive me crazy. She came across as a very narcissistic kind of person, from wanting to look great and be in the in crowd every night to the part where she should have been thin with this disease and she got fat.
Her love of family is undeniable. Interesting book but just not as well done as I had hoped.
