Dr. Nadine Lavoie works in a lockdown psychiatric hospital. As she helps a woman who has attempted suicide she comes to terms with her own traumatic childhood. Good storyline, good characters.

My daughter loves this book. We always have to read it over and over again.

Dietrich pays homage to the Florida area where he grew up. Each story is interesting and attention getting. Enjoyed every word.

we half liked it. Mama loved it

This is a great read that combines personal anecdotes with self-empowerment. Reminiscent of books like Elizabeth Gilbert's Big Magic (the author references Gilbert as a friend/mentor). Focuses a lot on parenting and on her relationship with wife Abby Wambach. Will probably make a lot more sense if you've read her previous book(s) first.

This is one of my daughter's absolute favorite books. She has me read this to her all the time.

Classic book of essays covering his family life, years as struggling artist working odd jobs, and, as the title suggests, his time in France and attempts to learn the language. Witty, self-deprecating. Sedaris' audiobooks recommended to get a sense of his personality.

Fun read with interesting characters. Enjoyed.
