Book Reviews of Why I'm Like This: True Stories (P.S.)

Book Review: Serious and seriously funny
Summary: 5 Stars

I really enjoyed this book. Although my expectations of it were a bit different than what I found, I really enjoyed it immensely. I have been reading quite a few memoirs recently and although I liked many of them and gave some of them great reviews, I thought Kaplan would be another caustic wit, another neurotic New Yorker. I was wrong.

Cynthia Kaplan definitely has a sense of humor. And, sometimes she incites some laughter while displaying her not so great side. But, also, she is warm and loving and caring. And, she is constantly trying to be and do better and grow and evolve.
