challenging dark emotional sad tense slow-paced
Struggled with this book very dark   Also as a non American some of the references went above my head.   Molly needed to tell this for her own sake and good for her but not sure we all needed to hear it?

Molly Jong-Fast is fearless. This is an honest, open and healing story of loss and mother-daughter relationships.

reflective medium-paced
This was ok. The reflective parts felt a bit repetitive. The narration wasn’t great- there were lots of pauses that made it feel stilted. I sped it up and that helped some. Overall, I don’t regret reading it, but I’m not sure that I’d recommend it either. If you know who Erica Jong is or who the author is, you may have more investment in this than what I did, since I don’t know either.

Name dropping. Narcissism complaining about other narcissists. Annoying narration. No thanks.
