MY REVIEW

I'm hanging up my label maker. 

I was caught up in the story from the first line. I love that Nicki is a professional organizer. She is down-to-earth, sweet, and easy to connect with. You immediately empathize with her fear of having to move back in with her mother. I think most adults have the same fear when things are not going quite as well as we hoped they would be going.
