The girl with the lower back tattoo by Amy Schumer. Ladies check it out. I can imagine some might not want to read it based on her comedy stuff, but she writes on some real topics, domestic abuse, rape, alcoholism, MS!

I just looked it up on Amazon and The Beautiful Mystery is the 8th one in the series and I just finished I think the fifth one. I would highly recommend that you start with the first book, “Still Life.” I have gotten quite attached to those people.
