4.5 ⭐️
Se trata de un libro que todos deberíamos leer, he marcado tantas cosas que quiero volver a recordar que podría estar una hora entera releyendo.
Es un testimonio tan real y duro en el que Chanel Miller nos muestra cada pensamiento, momento, emoción que se te ponen el vello de punta. Hay tanta verdad y tantas reflexiones que es una verdadera montaña rusa y en definitiva un libro duro y desgarrador.
Creo que todas las páginas son necesarias pero es verdad que no le doy 5 estrellas porque hubo momentos en los que me costaba seguir, quizá por la forma en la que estaba escrito o por su crudeza.
No es una lectura ligera pero si muy necesaria y la recomiendo. Además, me han venido nombres de amigas que me gustaría que lo leyeran.

Prepare for your heart strings to be rugged at. Chanel's telling of her story and how her life was uprooted is incredible. Wonderful writing and even more powerful and thought provoking content.

Exceptionally well written, she is a fantastic writer and storyteller, able to vocalise and describe what others cannot. It also made me think and reflect on what my thoughts on the topic etc would be.
I would have given a higher star rating if it hadn’t been so long. Actually felt long winded at times, and very repetitive - saying the same thing over and over. Also the audio edition wasn’t great, the narrator very robotic, no emotion or emphasis or personality, felt like it was read by AI as it was so robotic. That was a big deterrent for me.

“I believe that’s what being a victim is: living with that little, finicky, darting thing inside you. Most people say development is linear. But, for survivors, it is cyclic. People grow up, victims grow around. We strengthen around that place of hurt, become older and fuller, but the vulnerable core is never gone. More than becoming a frog, I believe surviving means learning to live forever with this trembling tadpole.”
This book healed a part of me I didn’t know was still hurting. I needed these words from Chanel. I needed the acknowledgment that I am not broken because sometimes I still live in the darkness of that pain. Reading this book helped me feel seen and heard and valued in ways I can’t even describe.
