While I do admire the work Jaycee did to process what she went through and provide insight into what people in her shoes have endured, the simplistic prose of the book and some organization with timelines and processing things that went on could have been cleaned up a bit to erase some of the repetitive sections. There were times where I thought I had doubled back and accidentally re-listened to a section. I am, however, conflicted with me saying this because there is a certain rawness that exists with the prose being solely in her voice with minimal to no edits or additional commentary from outside professionals. Some of this could also result from the book being published so soon after she was rescued combined with the therapy session nature of processing 18 years of intense trauma. While not a perfect book, there is a lot of value and information to be gained from such a unique testimony.
(Note: I've been trying to "get better" at audiobook reading, and it seems that I can more easily focus on the material when it's nonfiction rather than fiction. This isn't as pertinent for the review as it is for me noting the influx of audiobook options compared to my comfort zone of physical books.)
