kayebee13's review against another edition

emotional hopeful reflective sad medium-paced

5.0

Beautiful, haunting, thought-provoking memoir by a self-aware and talented author. I've re-read it several times and it always holds up to the first impression it left with me. I've read online that she described it as a memoir about identity and that is a very succinct description.
