as for the book itself: yeah, i’m glad her mom died too. i genuinely can’t wrap my head around how a mother could treat her child like that. sure, there’s no manual for motherhood, but at some point the abuse and neglect just become... absurd. it’s heartbreaking and infuriating.

I listened to this on audiobook and I wonder if I would have perceived it differently if I didn’t. Jennette’s delivery was very monotone even while discussing very brutal parts of her past.
The chapters are really short it’s almost like reading diary entries or scenes in a show/movie.
Jennette is pretty graphic about her explanation of what she went through so be weary if any of those content warnings would trigger something for you.
Her account is raw and unfiltered and I hope being open has helped her heal. As a mother myself it reminds me how important it is to take care of my own mental and emotional health so that I can best love and support my children.
