The author does an excellent job of describing every detail of her adventures and challenges, and it was easy to be enthralled in her words and see the images of her life play in your mind. As a reader, I felt everything right alongside the author as she told it and even had to choke back tears at some parts. Overall, this is just a truly phenomenal memoir that I would recommend to anyone!

I don’t read memoirs to confirm my own perspectives about a person. I read memoirs to put myself into that person’s shoes as much as a person can from a book. While in those shoes I am a witness to the relationships, the feelings, and the conflicts that individual has experienced.
What makes this a 5 star memoir? Brianna is raw - she acknowledges her “tortured artist past” to show that she is growing, learning, healing, and loving instead of choosing to focus on her past persona. A memoir isn’t for the reader, it’s for the writer. This book is a love letter and a forgiveness to herself. Don’t we all deserve to give ourselves that?
