Why read it?
1 author picked They F*** You Up as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
It is easy especially when young to assume that families are somewhat neutral or generally nurturing. We make our own way through the world and our background is only of some relevance. Oliver James shows how the environment in which we emerge affects every aspect of how we live.
