I love memoirs

So I love memoirs and decided that our assignment was a good enough excuse for me to go out and buy a memoir to read. I found Her Last Death by Susanna Sonnenberg. It was such a good book, but the ending was a little disappointing. I guess you can't make up a more interesting ending to your own life...lol. Anyway if anyone is looking for something to read to maybe become more inspired let me know.

What's the premise? I've never heard of it.

it's basically the story of this woman who's mother abuses drugs, money, and men. Her mother also always lies and had told everyone that she was dying at least 3 or 4 times in her life. It starts with the present day. Her mom was in a car accident and really was dying. She decides not to go to see her and then she goes into the story of her life. Honestly I couldn't put it down. It is brutally honest, which really made me pity the author while at the same time it kind of made me think she was a horrible person.
