Review: Angry!
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 11 14, 2012
The author is understandably angry at having to lose 2 babies to a rare fatal disease, and this book--since it's originally a journal--minces no words.  I'm also familiar with the inherent contradictory feelings of being pissed at God one minute, while at the next breath denying that God even exists.  The book doesn't end angry--there's a little ray of hope. The author does give contradicting advice on how to speak to her while she's grieving, as everything seems to piss her off.  (On an unrelated note, some of her suggestions go against what I learned in "The Littlest Angel" by Heidi Chandler, another book that addressed the topic of unhelpful utterances by well-meaning people).  Usually, misspellings and grammatical errors irk me--but in this book they were ok because it was an unedited journal.  Her harsh writing style took a while to get used to, but I enjoyed this book and learned a lot.
