This was an interesting memoir, but I honestly liked I’m Glad My Mom Died and Educated more than this one. 3.5 stars

Shares such an interesting family’s life story and horrible abuse in such a matter-of-fact even “lighthearted” way. Well-written—expresses the love and loyalty the family had despite their blatant lack of basic care/needs.

emotional funny reflective medium-paced

5.0

This book was incredibly human. It angered me in ways I didn’t know books could and I oftentimes found myself forced to empathize with the focus of my anger. It never ceases to amaze me how selfish humans can be, but this book also showed how we can love and be loved regardless. There were parts that felt all too real and parts where my gut churned at the thought of turning the page. This book painted a complex and compelling picture of a dysfunctional family, riddled with generational trauma. Knowing that it is a memoir and based on someone’s real life only made it hit that much harder. First five star book of 2024!

It reads like a season of Shameless, it’s so sad. Over and over adults failed those kids. And yet they continued to have relationships with their parents. Families can be so complicated.
