And then another one I recommend is The Glass Castle and this is a really good book because it's also a memoir, but it reads like a fiction. It's about this girl growing up. Her family was homeless pretty much throughout her life and they moved around a lot. And it's just like her story and experience of growing up with that and parents that were mentally ill and did not get help that they needed because of some reason or another

So as soon as I read memoir, I knew I wanted to say The Glass Castle, but then you said that one. So I just wanted to say I loved that book. I had to read it for my junior year AP Lane class. And I love reading and I read a lot, but when I'm being told I have to read something, I just immediately lose interest. So that was always something I struggled with

I know you like memoirs, but I've been reading Janet Wandovich and sue is just too funny. I stay awake too late, I'm singing on Schmidt. And now I seem to be spending too long on this s. But Janet Wang is just so funny. The books are really intriguing. They're a little confusing. You go to Untangle, she's a veiled launchman and her cars tend to blow up on her. But you find yourself laughing out loud. Really out loud

So I haven't read a ton of memoirs. I did read The Glass Cast and I loved it. That was so good. But another one I've read is called Night by Ellie Weisel. And he survived the Holocaust. He was in a concentration camp as a teenager. So he wrote his story and it's from his perspective and it's really good. It's really sad. It's sometimes hard to read, but honestly, overall, definitely recommend it

And it's been that way for years until one day the girl who doesn't have leukemia goes against her parents in courts to keep her to stop her from doing this, to stop them from making her save her sister's life all the time. It's definitely a good book and it tugged down a lot of heartstrings and it's just amazing. I read it when I was 13 years old the first time, and I was just blown away by hub. Good it was
