challenging dark emotional sad medium-paced

3.75

Feels weird to say but, took me a while to get into the story. I'm not one to be super critical when it comes to memoirs. Overall, this perspective is absolutely bonkers.

tallulah13's review

I got a weird feeling and looked up some more reviews and someone mentioned graphic animal abuse/death about halfway through. That’s always a no for me.
