Chanel Bonfire Audiobook

" Another great memoir. I loved it. "

" This a memoir that reads like a novel. Every inch a page turner. Finished in less than 8 hours. "

" Invoked memories of The Glass Castle, just with more money. It's so sad how powerless children are when confronted with parents dealing with mental illness and addictions. A very quick and compelling read. You just had to see what other awful things these girls are to endure (the whole can't look away from an accident scene idea). I'm glad the postscript was there to ease my mind regarding the aftermath. "

" I too, could not put this one down. Very interesting memoir... "

" I think Wendy Lawless described her story/memoir perfectly...horrible and horribly funny. Wendy has ties to Minneapolis and it was thru her family here that I heard about her story and book release. The book was a fast and easy read, Wendy and her younger sister were abused by their alcoholic mother and survived with humor and love for each other. "

" Finished this one pretty quickly. Very "Mommy Dearest" meets "All Families Are Psychotic". "

" A sad, but interesting story of how two sisters survived childhood living with an alcoholic, self-absorbed, manipulative, abusive, crazy mother. Makes you appreciate your own parents that's for sure (at least if they were not like this). "

" I was so frustrated with Wendy's passivity (is that even a word?)! I can't even imagine how this mother got away with this behavior for so long and why Wendy continued to tolerate it. Robin was my hero! "

" Very hard to put down. "

" An easy read that I didn't want to put down. "

" Good fast read. Fascinating and sad how some children are raised on all ends of the economic/social spectrum. "

" Loved this story. Love how it was written with such vivid descriptions of the main characters. Moving memoir! "

" Not worth your time. So many better books to read. Empty and pointless! "

" wow - another Joan Crawford type mom in this one. "

" Wendy Lawless had written a tell all memoir about growing up with a psychotic mother. "

" Could not put this down. Devastating, but so witty. Great, great read. "

" Good story. Entertaining and interesting. "

" I loved this book, which is the April selection for our Brown Bag Book Club. It's wonderfully written. The author's perspective on her harrowing childhood is so honest and insightful. I highly recommend this book . . . and look forward to the next memoir Wendy Lawless writes. "

" I really never get tired of poor little rich girl stories. Sorry for Wendy Lawless that this one is true. It's so much like the fiction tale, The Chocolate Money, but as a real mom, Georgann outdoes the worst of fictional moms from hell. "

" Like reading a gossip magazine that was someone's childhood. Loved it. "

" Compelling memoir about growing up in a household with an alcoholic, narcissistic mother creating havoc on her family. It was very engrossing and a fast read. Totally dysfunctional family but funny and enlightening at the same time. "
