I would give the book 4 stars but based on the rating chart, I have to give it a 2. 2 is recommending with reservations. The only reservation I would have in recommending it is because of its subject matter. Not everyone is enthusiastic to read a book on someone elses cancer. But, even though my mom died of breast cancer and my nine year old daughter died of brain cancer, I loved the book and have no problems reading this book. I just know some people just "can't go there". I also must stress, this book is not about cancer. It is a moving, funny and sometimes tearful story of someone elses life. A very enjoyable, easy read.

I loved Kelly's writing style. It was very honest and humorous. I could relate to her in so many ways. I think everyone will love her father and understand her mother.

As I was reading the very last sentence of the prologue, I unexpectedly had tears spring from my eyes. I thought it was a very powerful sentence. I too, was very thankful that I was still someone's daughter.
