If I have to give it a star, I give it a one, only because the author can write. But this is trash. The book began as a memoir to her mother - similar in feeling to The Glass Castle in it's stunning cavalier parenting attitudes, but with sex, drugs, and money. Her mom was a total piece of work. But the second half of the book, is her laying out how screwed up it made her - in gross and explicit detail. Essentially, I believe it is the author's excuse (in book form) for not showing up when her mother lay dying. I also believe it is not worth reading.
The End.
