So, this isn't an awful book, but I'm not loving it either. Part of it's my fault, I'm sick of sad stories, but I don't really enjoy memoirs all that much. The character is annoying and her family is even worse. I also ruined the book for myself by reading the author interview and realizing that(spoiler alert!) she falls in love with a woman. When ever a female character entered the story I was wondering if it would be her. I was also disgusted with her when she has sex in a nun's room. What is she thinking?
It is kind of interesting in that it takes place in Rochester and I know all the land marks she mentions. It gives an interesting account of Mercy life, one I'll never be able to experience myself but will always wonder about.
All in all, it's not a bad book but I don't really like it.
