Although it was hard to read due to the heavy topics it deals with. The chapters weren't super connected with each other either so it felt like it was incomplete at some parts. However it's still a very important read. I wish that this was a long memoir rather than a book series of memoirs tho, since I wanted to read more of this.

Whilst I’m in awe and pain at the life Maya has lived, and whilst I was fascinated to find out about it, I’m sad to say that I was put off by the writing style. For me, it felt off and made it so much harder to get into.
