I am so overwhelmed by the generosity of spirit Amy Mangan exhibits while exposing the human toll of the Financial Crisis. I appreciate her candor, her humor and the conversational style with which she writes. While at times an uncomfortable read, This Side Up always read as truth, in all it's highs and lows. I think this book would make an excellent book discussion selection. The opportunities for discussion, debate, research and discovery are plentiful.

This book spoke to me. Not only for moving, but author's children growing up. Wow, this will make you tear up. Lovely book.

Thanks to author,publisher and Netgalley for the chance to read this book. While I got the book for free,it had no bearing on the rating I gave it.
