How We Love by Clementine Ford
A deeply personal memoir, the good the bad and the beautiful of her experiences of love throughout her life. The chapter on her relationship with her mother was incredibly moving, the turbulent teen years and the intensity of female friendship and love, will be relatable to many readers. Jayne enjoyed reading something so personal and reflective from this author.
