It Sucked and Then I Cried (7)

Title: It Sucked and Then I Cried
Author: Heather B. Armstrong
Genre: Non-Fiction

I think you either really love Heather Armstrong’s blog Dooce.com or you really, really don’t like it. If you don’t love her blog you won’t love her book. I have loved Dooce forever. It’s a small badge of honor to say that I’ve been reading Dooce since before she got fired for her blog all those years ago. If you read Dooce during Heather’s pregnancy and her postpartum depression there isn’t a lot of new material in the book and I think that’s ok. I enjoyed reading the book very much. It was irreverant, funny and heartbreaking. I think her honesty about her mental illness is so very refreshing and is an absolute public service that she should be thanked for. So, thank you Heather.
