Listening felt like it definitely would help things be interpreted better, especially the naivety when she was young, and the dismissive denial after her mother's death. I loved her dry wit and it helped me get through some parts - this is definitely something you should only read when you're in the right mental space. I had to stop listening a couple of times as I got uncomfortable, which is also a testament to her writing
I almost need a list of events just to process my feelings about everything that happened because there was so much that it is easy to forget some.
I have lots of questions, mainly because the book ended so abruptly. What's her career now? Is she even working? What's she looking forward to? What does she like, what are her hobbies?
I suppose she's left lots of things to ask in interviews but the book did end quite abruptly, especially since she explained most things in detail. It feels like she wrote howshe normally did and then didn't feel comfortable sharing so cut a couple of chapters out. We do get a bit of reflection but I would've liked it to end with her "now", not just what her mum did,
I would recommend this

Somehow she made me laugh in this absolutely horrifying story.
I hope to see more from her as a writer if that is what she wants. If not, I am so grateful we have this book.
