" I loved this book! Meredith Norton writes in the same vein as Haven Kimmel and Anne Lamott...she is achingly astute, poignient and funny all in the same breath. She doesn't gloss over the seriousness of her condition, but she has a life and baby and a complicated family and these things are also a part of her life. This book should be on every woman's shelf both because it is soberingly real and because it is loaded with hope and humor. "

" This book was unbelievably funny considering the subject matter. The author was able to frame her experience as a real person without getting maudlin, and also threw in a lot of (hilarious) anecdotes about her life. "

" I thought the book was darkly funny, and I found myself really liking her. Often times she would segue to a new topic/thought, which couls be distracting, but she managed to tie the loose ends together at the end of a chapter. If there were 1/2 stars available I'd give this one 3 1/2 stars. "

" Nice to read a "cancer book" with a dose of humour in it, not to diminish other accounts at all. Found this refreshingly honest - speaking from the safety of never having experienced it. "

" her memoir reads like equal parts anne lamott and david sedaris. i was won over by her candor, shriekingly hilarious humor, and total lack of pretension about dealing with a rare form of breast cancer. "

" A surprising book about cancer. It's not sad and depressing- it's funny.
My only gripes are that Meredith is a little perverted. And she describes things too well. But I guess I should expect that in a book about breast cancer.
