This book wrenched my soul from my body. Everything hurts. This book isn’t for the faint of heart, but everyone should read it because the message is important. It’s a coming of age story about a girl who survives so much, told through the eyes of her younger self and her daughter’s writing. Please check the trigger warnings before going into this one, it’s a tough one.

It has been a long time since a book has moved me like this. I was completely wrapped up in it. I cried many times, laughed, felt sick, felt enraged. I was never bored. A shocking but beautiful true story filled with trauma, heartbreak, cruelty, but also joy and hope and kindness. Masterfully written. I will be thinking about this for a long time.

This book was the darkest I've read in a very long time. I almost had to DNF it. A very difficult read for mature audiences only.

This falls in the niche genre that is “the authors love letter to their mother knowing they may never read it”. 
This book is here for all the female relationships one will have as a child and how these shape you and can almost break you. I am emotionally devastated
