dark emotional reflective sad fast-paced

5.0

i read this for class, and it legitimately had me rethinking every single book i have given five stars because i think this is now the only one. 

yuknavitch's memoir was unpredictable, traumatic, and reflective, all while being heartbreakingly poetic. 

i have no words. she made us feel her emotions. the graphic descriptions of her experiences, and the ways in which she self sabotaged as a result of her childhood trauma was surreal.

read this book, but please PLEASE be careful. it is very heavy and personally, i found it a little triggering.

djschnitzer's review against another edition

It was incoherent. Disjointed. Must still be drunk. Disgusting vulgar see scenes.
