I read this book as part of the Anti Bully Readathon. I was hoping and praying for a different ending throughout the entire book. This story sums up how "little" things can be HUGE things for some people and how being kind can go a huge way. I cried, my god did I cry. The feelings that the main character are so intense that you can feel them so deeply just from reading this book. Always ALWAYS choose kindness. You don't know whats going on in other peoples heads. Everyone has their own story.Loved this book, beautifully written.

The Gypsy Rose and DeeDee Munchhausen by proxy documentaries are numerous, and I found it very interesting that Hulu produced a dramatization of the story. The series started really strong, I devoured the first three episodes one right after another, but then, the waiting game.
This series was probably 3 episodes too long, episodes 6 and 7 felt like straight up filler, and should have been combined. Patricia Arquette was amazing as DeeDee, the thin veneer of kindness over her abusive behavior was really brilliant.

Of course, if you've ever watched a documentary about this, you know how it ends, but it's still an entertaining series (excluding eps 6 and 7).

Loved reading this book. I was in a bit of a reading slump and thought I would give it a go. I've been meaning to read it for a while not so I thought what the heck? I'm so glad I did. It really put me in the Christmas Spirit and I liked the message it gave about spreading love and kindness. Not to mention I love Muppet's Christmas Carol and was so happy to find out how similar the film is to the book- minus puppet dolls.
