Echoing other reviews, her structure is quite non-linear, especially at the start, and that made it a bit difficult for me to get into, but once I could I really enjoyed this! I sort of knew of Pamela before reading, and picked this up because of an interview she did for Variety, and I found her captivating.
This memoir is incredibly empathetic, clever, and thoughtful. For someone who was so incredibly abused, so frequently, by so many people, she still holds so much joy and appreciation for life, which really shines through. Her prose is really authentic, like you’re having a conversation with her. I also loved her poetry. I’m really glad I picked this up, started and finished it in a day.
