Funny, Insightful, and Honest

Borders really should not have this book in the Tarot section. It's more of a self-help type memoir, though I did like the way she used the tarot cards to tell her story.

Each chapter begins with a Tarot card and as the author describes how this card is relevant in her life, you can't help but think of how it is relevant in yours. I found myself analyzing my own childhood and relationship with my parents. It's not one of those corny, whiny self-help books and there's just enough humor to remind you how important it is to laugh at yourself sometimes. The author delivers her story in a way that makes you feel that she has learned, from experience, that being a victim is often a choice.

A Comrade in Kimberlee

I loved reading this book! I was up until 2am every night reading it. My only regret is that I whipped through it so fast that now I miss Kimberlee. Her voice is so charming and honest, her reflections and analysis so insightful that you can't help but be thoroughly entertained while you are learning. She has clearly done a lot of work on her journey of self-awareness, and we readers are the benefactors. She expressed so many of my inner-most thoughts that I've never been able to articulate; I I felt that she was my comrade in arms. In fact, I felt so connected and inspired that after finishing the book one Saturday morning, I literally jumped out of bed with more positive energy than I've had in a LONG time, cranked the music, and started cleaning my apartment, ready to continue the journey.

Unique and universal all at the same time

I must admit to coming to this book as a fan of Kimberlee's having seen the show which inspired this memoir at the NY Fringe Festival. Even so, I was still surprised by how wonderfully she translated her stories into this different medium. "The Devil, The Lovers & Me" is an easy read in the best ways possible: it's totally engaging and totally relatable. If you have a heart -- and especially if it's ever been broken -- you should be able to connect with Kimberlee, and that should be the case regardless of your gender. If you've ever been nervous or insecure about your place in the world or even your family, Kimberlee will have you laughing in some sections and tearing-up in others.

I hope guys won't be scared away from reading a book that sounds like it's a weepy tome by a female obsessed with astrology/palm readers/tarot/whatever. Kimberlee's voice is one that I look forward to hearing again and again.
