This book is straight-up Gossip Girl meets a corporate law fim. I ate it right up. | |

Regardless of its perceived merits or flaws, this book should never have been published. It is a transparent money grab, and furthermore an act of fraud and abuse perpetrated by Harper Lee's lawyers against her and against us, her readers. Publishers ...more | |
"I read this book with 13 or 14 and just reread it five years later. Something about it, maybe the devastating truth and realism behind everything Andrea thinks and goes thru, makes me really like it.
It’s not the best writing style in my opinion but " Read more of this review » |

“Creating a life that reflects your values and satisfies your soul is a rare achievement. In a culture that relentlessly promotes avarice and excess as the good life, a person happy doing his own work is usually considered an eccentric, if not a subversive. Ambition is only understood if it’s to rise to the top of some imaginary ladder of success. Someone who takes an undemanding job because it affords him the time to pursue other interests and activities is considered a flake. A person who abandons a career in order to stay home and raise children is considered not to be living up to his potential â€� as if a job title and salary are the sole measure of human worth.
You’ll be told in a hundred ways, some subtle and some not, to keep climbing, and never be satisfied with where you are, who you are, and what you’re doing. There are a million ways to sell yourself out, and I guarantee you’ll hear about them.
To invent your own life’s meaning is not easy, but it’s still allowed, and I think you’ll be happier for the trouble.”

“What no one realized about life was that every second you weren't free, you were dying. Every breath you breathed was a criminal waste of air if you weren't free.”

“There was a full moon in the starless sky. I thought how rarely I had noticed such things. Some deep failure of the soul perhaps. An inherited emptiness. A nothingness passed from generation to generation. A flaw in the psyche, discovered only by those who suffer by it.”

“When we mourn those who die young â€� those who have been robbed of time â€� we weep for lost joys. We weep for opportunities and pleasure we ourselves have never known. We feel sure that somehow that young body would have known the yearning delight for which we searched in vain all our lives. We believe that the untried soul, trapped in its young prison, might have flown free and known the joy that we still seek.”
