this is such a hard read but Jennette does an outstanding job telling her story. she is an outstanding writer, and I hope she does more in the future as I would very much like to pick up more work from her. she's been through so much in so many ways but the book ends with steps towards recovery & hope & I wish nothing but the absolute best for her in whatever she does going forward.
highly recommended if you can handle the subject matter and/or enjoy memoirs.

Hers is a doozy. I truly wouldn’t wish what she’s gone through on anyone. She comes across as smart and hilarious.
This book made me rethink reading memoirs by younger people. I used to say, just write it when you’re older and you can really reflect.
But she’s been through a lifetime of shit in a short time and processed it accordingly with a therapist. I wish her all the best and think it’s a book everyone should read, provided they take heed of trigger warnings. Because, as with many hard upbringings, she has a lot.
