I did not like this book.

I feel bad because I recommended the book to a book group and it was selected. And I hate-read it.

To be fair, she is an okay writer. But I read this book at the same time as reading Ta-Nehisi Coates' Between the World and Me. His writing is so much better than hers.

There are many similarities between Dr. Jahren and myself - and I won't delineate them. But, she tends to judge and generalize and her judgements are wrong and her generalizations are untrue. It made this a very poor book for me.

I really wanted to like this book. Alas, I do not.
