I have read also read the first half of the book. She is brutally honest about her past - personally, I am not sure I could have revealed everything like she has done. I admire her courage in telling a story that, so far, is not flattering. She had a tough upbringing and then did not make the best choices as an adult. I enjoyed reading it and look forward to part II.
As far as reading with her, I like her very much. I can't say that her predictions are correct in every detail, but she does have a gift, in fact, she has a few gifts. She will make you feel better, which is all I call for sometimes. I have to leave for work right now but will post more about her later today.
