a train wreck
I don't want someone else to get burned like I did. This book was terrible. The author attempts to use a flowery, extended vocabulary to tell a story about how she selfishly made terrible choices and continues to selfishly make terrible choices. She is the cause of her own train wreck of a life and I hope to save you from having to listen to her whine on and on about it only to do nothing to fix it. After hundreds of pages of whining she magically says she's changed, but she's exactly the same as when she started. The book should have been called "Wallow: in self pity you'll never actually address while hiking 1,100 miles."
