Edith F. (Tigger14) reviewed on 8/31/2011 + 27 more book reviews

This was a much grittier coming of age story than I expected. Augusten's parents each reject him in their own way, so that Augusten is sent to live at the home of his mother's psychologist. This home can be described as weirdly dysfunctional. Could it just be quirky? That is the initial question, but the longer Augusten lives there, more idiosyncrasies are revealed until one realizes things are much beyond quirky. This is Augusten's story of how he survived.
