Summary of Jami Attenberg's I Came All This Way to Meet You

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I have always had an attraction to the absence of something, whether it was sadness or something else. I was a tomboy as a child, until I wasn’t. There was no bridge to the other side. #2 When I was twelve, I went to the mall with my mother to get makeup applied to my face. I was terrified of the idea, but my mother insisted that I do it. The experience taught me the joys of reading and creativity, as well as the importance of education and believing in myself. #3 I have only ever loved one type of makeup: lipstick. I love the bright colors, wild, hysterical pinks that turn a dull outfit up, poke a hole in a gray day, or sultry reds that stain my lips for hours. #4 I am a great dinner guest, because I appreciate food deeply. I never learned how to cook, but I am a superior diner. I will always appreciate food that has been prepared with love.
