voidboi's review against another edition

emotional informative reflective medium-paced

3.5

These essays give you lots to think about, have great writing, and generously share the author's personal history and emotional work to make meaning from difficult parts of her life. The final essay asks you to do the same, providing questions with blank spots for the reader to reflect on and "share", and it is quite powerful.
