I find Tracey Emin really endearing and this book only solidified that. Her honest discussions about sex, pregnancy, abortion and female anatomy in general were as delicately brash as her artwork.
It's refreshing to read about subjects so often avoided among women/society by someone who has experienced it first hand and wants to tell the ugly truth.

Emin remains as beautiful in literature as in art.

I wasn't sure if I liked it when I was reading ,and then I wasn't sure if I liked it when I was done.
But I couldn't deny the elegant prose in which Tracey wrote these very honest and sometimes cruel stories.
I liked it.
And I like it still.
We are very different people, and that is perfectly fine.
I understand Tracey's art a lot more now, and even though I always loved her art (the honesty and brutality of it), I love it even better now.

4 starts, 4 days after reading Strangeland, because it keeps ringing in my head.
