ashleyvharris's review against another edition

There is so so much packed into 300 pages. Just when I thought it couldn’t get worse, it did. I wanted nothing more than to read the entire book in a single day, but there were often moments that disturbed me so much that I had to step away. All the trigger warnings!
I applaud Jeanette for her distinct and intuitive voice as a storyteller. This memoir felt like a conversation with her and not just a straight retelling of childhood trauma. There was inner dialogue, witty comebacks and remarks, and most importantly major growth.
This is a must-read book of 2022 and beyond!
