Cherry – Mary Karr<\/p><\/div>\n

Cherry<\/em>, Mary Karr’s follow up to The Liar’s Club<\/em>, picks up where the last memoir left off, with young Mary Karr heading into middle school, and takes us through her high school years. \u00a0Along the way, she enters puberty, loses her virginity, and starts abusing drugs to make it through her tortured existence.<\/p>\n

I bought this book, and its predecessor, on November 24, 2001, and they both stayed in my “To Read” drawer until I finally broke through on The Liar’s Club last October. \u00a0To this day, I can’t explain to you why I bought them, along with Danny Bonaduce’s autobiography and a TransFormers DVD, but, after finishing Cherry<\/em>, I think I am glad that I did. \u00a0I found this book much easier to get through than the previous one, probably due to the more exciting subject matter.<\/p>\n

There’s a third memoir from Mary Karr out there, but I doubt I will be seeking it out. \u00a0Not to say I didn’t enjoy this latest foray into her upbringing, but I think I’ve had enough insight into her psyche.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
