Linda Lomonaco | 14 comments Looking for a memoir I read a review of in Entertainment Weekly. It's probably less than 10 years old and was written by a woman. All I remember from the description was that the author was either a hypochondriac or compulsive liar. And I'm pretty sure either "Sick" or "Liar" was in the title.

Or maybe The Liars' Club by Mary Karr? That one is from 1995. She's also written two other memoirs, Cherry and Lit: A Memoir.

Here's what a blurb says:

The Liars' Club brought to vivid, indelible life Mary Karr's hardscrabble Texas childhood. Cherry, her account of her adolescence, "continued to set the literary standard for making the personal universal" (Entertainment Weekly). Now Lit follows the self-professed blackbelt sinner's descent into the inferno of alcoholism and madness—and to her astonishing resurrection.
