If you need a good laugh, read this book! The insane descriptions of her dogs were enough to get me going, but her childhood recollection of the walk in the woods with her mom and sister did me in. What I like most about this author is that she knows her limits. She knows where her stumbling blocks are, looks at them, and then just kind of shuffles around them. One of my favorite quotes: I am incensed that reality has the audacity to do some of the things it does when I clearly don't want those things to happen It's like you read my mind, Allie. Like you read my mind!
