Helpful Score: 2
Somewhat amusing book about the reminicences of the author's life growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area in the 1970s and into her adult life in the 1990s. Some of this was laugh-out-loud funny including the chapter when she was the homecoming queen in an outrageous dress with hues of various colors and her subsequent date with the handsome and believed-to-be reserved senior. Some of the other parts of the book were not as funny but overall this was an enjoyable read. This reminded me of similar humorous books about growing up that I enjoyed including The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid by Bill Bryson, A Girl Named Zippy by Haven Kimmel, and probably my favorite: In God We Trust, All Others Pay Cash by Jean Shepherd, the basis for the wonderful movie, A Christmas Story.
