A very moving story, easy language but not a feel good book :)

If you liked the book “Where the crawdads sing” you will like this one. Personally I was not a fan of Where the crawdads sing but I liked this book it has similarities but I think this book is more detailed and because of that it is a memoir it felt like it has a more powerful meaning.

Very well written. Hard to read at some parts due to the abuse. I would recommend going into this book without prior knowledge.

I knew that she eventually left, which I feel ruined the anticipation. I did find it shocking that she wasn’t the first in her family to leave. Definitely changed the story, as it shaped her experience.
