Book Review: "Agatha Arch Is Afraid Of Everything" By Kristin Bair O'Keeffe

Agatha Arch isn't really afraid of everything it's more or less she needs to find herself and be comfortable with AGATHA before being comfortable with everything else.

Kristin Bair O'Keeffe has thrown everything into this one -so much so- I was waiting for the sky to fall next - type of feel.

When you're reading and everything keeps coming at you from all angles with many things being so absurd it's unbelievable and cray-cray it makes the reader question the 'why' and 'how' it all came to end.

The end was quite sparkly but the beginning was a mess with Agatha in need of intervention after uncovering her husband Dex messing with the dog walker in the shed.

Talk about anger a bit much-she goes full force- and whips out the binoculars, the tree limbs, the go-pro camera and whatever else she could find to get answers. Agatha physically destroyed the shed with a hatchet as she loses herself in a flood of tears and expletives.

However, she doesn't need answers if she's secure in herself, her well being, her values and self worth.

In today's world we come across books like this in which the woman is labeled often unfairly as 'nuts' and 'off the wall psycho' when really she's looking for attention, affection, adulation, praise, and most importantly a chance to be heard and loved.

The 'shrinky dink' was an adventure, the stink bug too but when a trio of goats and a dog named Balderdash are thrown in -it just became too much.

I'm sure the idea began with throw it in and see what sticks but if this was tempered to a more tolerable level and not so hyped up with the overall emotional turmoils it might have made a more appealing and engrossing work for me.

I have once been told as a kid that I couldn't sit still -my parents were offered adhd drugs- I insisted less sugar and proper dietary nutritional needs.

If you get my drift this has that same sense of out of control madness that some may welcome but others shy away because underneath the moral of the story often gets lost.

Either way you run with it this was a good audio to tune in albeit set a day aside for its entirety.
