absolutely fantastic. memoir meets historical fiction meets choose your own adventure - all seamlessly interwoven...what more could you want? seriously incredible.

Really loved the writing style of the book of the fragmented the memories pieced together by some sort of literary device or topic. I thought the writing was beautifully done and the memoir was really sad and made me frustrated to hear of domestic abuse.

A very beautiful book, just had to keep myself focused at times
