My thoughts
“Living in the Rear View Mirror” is a disturbing tale of one woman’s struggle with drugs, relationships and life itself. Kim Vasquez writes of her life from childhood to now. She openly discusses her feelings in regards to her absentee father, her failed marriages and the ease in which she started popping pills and partying to cope. All her life she struggled with so much stress that it caused headaches. She had problems and she dealt with them badly. She also interjected her visions of a guardian angel throughout her life. I didn’t understand the meaning of this, but am glad that she has been able to turn her life around. The book was alright.
