gh2mi's review against another edition

adventurous emotional funny inspiring reflective medium-paced

5.0

An excellent memoir on two fronts: not only is it an inspiring and fascinating nonfiction, Madia's presentation heightens the book from being a great recollection to a story so excellently told that I would almost believe was fiction. Madia's storytelling capabilities are incredibly evocative (as I would hope from someone writing about their life). I listened to her transfixed as she hilariously, viscerally, and reflectively presented her life, jumping back to the past to present fascinating throughlines. The quality of this memoir makes the fact that it is nonfiction all the more amazing. I could not recommend this enough.

The author also narrates her memoir! I found she largely did a good job, and in some parts was downright great. I would recommend this audiobook! Hearing the person who wrote it kept me grounded in reality, making it all the more interesting.
