What a hot mess to read! Ugh.....

This book simply irked me.....Ashley poured out the ugly family secrets and found enough blame for all gone wrong in her life to fill an entire book. Was it sad at times? Yes! Was it fair to say her parents screwed up? Yes! Was it over the top with blame and poor pitiful me without any self responsibility? ABSOLUTELY! Ashley doesn't seem to comprehend that life is ugly and difficult for the masses, not just her. Many have had it much harder to say the least.
