challenging dark emotional informative reflective sad medium-paced

5.0

this was absolutely devastating. i read this in a day and would not recommend doing that. i finished the book feeling so hollow and sad. Chanel Miller is an amazing author and i am so grateful to have been able to read her story.

challenging emotional hopeful inspiring reflective medium-paced

Nothing I could write here would be in any way comparable to Chanel's words. 

Chanel Miller. Know her name. Read her story.

A note on the jacket:
The gold veins on the cover represent the Japanese art of kintsugi, "golden repair," in which pieces of broken pottery are mended with powdered gold and lacquer, rather than treating the breaks as blemishes to conceal. The technique shows us that although an object cannot be returned to its original state, fragments can be made whole again.
