Hilarious! Laughed till I cried! Karen A Lund

I am not known as a “book worm” but after the first couple of pages I could not put it down. In fact, finished it in one entertaining sitting. The title is “catchy” but the remaining stories and recollections are interesting, emotional, thought provoking and yes, also funny.
