Thank you so very much for saying this, wingin'it! Though there were parts that much resonated, they were few and far between. Overwhelmingly, the book made me feel exactly like you said..."even more lonely and useless to read about how great she adjusted to BP". She just so offhandedly writes about so much that I could only dream of.

Here's the other thing. Frankly, I don't think she really (I mean really) understands or appreciates how flipping damn good she has it in those respects and just how damn rare those things are for most of the rest of us. And it's soooo often recommended reading. Someone w/o BP might well read it and think they "understand". Well, they'd know jack**** about how it's been for me, that's for sure...

Awww, Cesario! I'd notice you dying your hair blue! I think that's cool.
