An honest book - Myriam’s words felt like the raw closeness of a high school friend telling you her story.

This made me sad as fuck. Also mad as fuck. But it helped me come to the realization it’s ok to be a mean ass bitch. So thanks for that.

Dark but funny memoir. She's mean but the good kind of mean.
Only the bizarre part about Michael Jackson didn't really sit well with me.

Her playing with language is fun until it wasn't anymore.
The first 2/3 of the book which relives her childhood is interesting. The last third is a PTSD rehashing/processing of a sexual assault and was less interesting.
I found myself wondering about her fascination with mannish, racist white women.
