A beautiful but deeply heartbreaking memoir. I’m so glad I read it, but I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to bring myself to read it again.

It's good! It's not as incandescently excellent as I'd hoped, and as some reviews led me to believe. It's really moving when she talks about her childhood and her mental health struggles, but some parts just feel like any other celebrity memoir. And certain storylines feel unfinished, which makes sense, she's young, it wouldn't all be resolved, but either don't bring it up or be willing to give a little more about how you feel about it being unfinished, where you are now--don't just drop it out of nowhere. Like I said, a good book! I just think that the second half let it down a little bit when the first half was so good.
