What is the author's style in Hard Laughter: A Novel by Anne Lamott?

Lamott writes as though she is in the room with the reader, telling a story. She often uses run-on sentences or sentence fragments, imitating the pacing of real conversation. She frequently swears, uses slang, and makes up words, just like a friend relating a personal experience. She also bares her soul through Jen, admitting Jen's dreams, doubts, fears, and hopes.
