Wonderful book and empowering memoir-- I just couldn't finish it due to my deteriorating mental health. I wish I would've read the content warnings before starting. Pls take care of yourself and search up the content warnings before reading

Can't believe this is one person's life. Incredible memoir. Reads like a fiction. Still thinking about her life story months later.

challenging dark emotional inspiring reflective sad medium-paced

5.0

 Cupcake Brown is so raw and real in this book. She told every little detail of the life that she lived and the things that she did. The good, the bad, the horrible, it was all in there. There were parts in this book that were so crazy to me that it seemed like fiction.

As a person that loves someone that is an addict this book is hearbreaking. It is also a survival story. A story of someone that overcame all odds.

If you haven't already, and can deal with all the triggers, READ THIS BOOK. But there are triggers for almost everything you can think of.

This memoir was full of emotion, hope and truth. Some parts were very intense and others were just downright terrible to read. But this book is incredible! Cupcake's story is so inspirational her journey through trauma, addiction, recovery and finding her higher power are a book I would recommend to anyone!
