I like the experimental style of a mom-writer brain consciousness. I put down Tara’s book a few times because the brother sister dynamic totally freaked me out and I kept looking for evidence of why homeschooling is problematic because I was homeschooling at that time... glad you got this out this week!

It’s so amazing how each person gets a completely different thing out of the book. I never gave a second thought to the homeschooling aspect of it.

I love this! Very accurately reflects my writing process. Also, I recently read "Educated" too, and found myself completely engulfed.

Thank you! Educated and Son of Elsewhere did a number on me. I was like ‘why can’t I write like this?’
