Book #25

Glitter and Glue by Kelly Corrigan

This memoir is about mothers and daughters -- or it's supposed to be. The main plotline of the story follows Kelly as a post-grad, traveling to Australia. She becomes a nanny for a family who has recently lost their mother, and she manages to think about her own mother every now and then while caring for the children and having a bit of a fling with their half-brother.

I just didn't care for this book. It was supposed to be about Kelly's connection with her own mother, yet her own mother seemed to be a total afterthought throughout the whole book.

I was bored throughout a majority of the book. On to the next!
