My Thoughts

ALL THE TRUTH THAT’S IN ME wasn’t what I was expecting. I didn’t realize it was historical fiction until I started reading it, which turned me off at first. However, since I like historical fiction, that quickly turned into a plus. It took me a little bit to get used to the unique writing style. It was a bit slow, but I ended up enjoying the story and I really liked the characters, especially Judith and Lucas.

My Thoughts

I was so worried I wouldn’t like FURIOUSLY HAPPY based on what I had heard from other readers. I was pleasantly surprised, however. I found this to be a very raw, honest, unique look at how one person deals with their mental illness. At times, I felt like Lawson was stealing parts from my own life as she described hers. This book is definitely not for everyone, but I’m glad I read it, and I’ll read more from her as I feel like she and I are kindred spirits.
