Funny Farm (by Laurie Zaleski)

I enjoyed this book and learning about the myriad of animals the author rescued. This is as much a memoir of her life growing and how dysfunctional her family was. Even after her mother takes the children and escapes from an abusive relationship, their lives remained troubled and chaotic. While a large portion focuses on her formidable years. The stories of various animals that were a part of her life were touching. I enjoyed learning about the funny farm so much that I have started following it on social media. And I’ve added it to my bucket list of places to visit. Whether or not you’re an animal lover, I strongly encourage you to read this book.

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for my advanced review copy. All opinions and thoughts are my own.
