challenging dark reflective medium-paced

4.0

I really enjoyed Sanchez's memoir for the most part, but I wish I had read the text rather than listening to it. At times the narration felt very disjointed and it pulled me out of the moment. I appreciate the candor with which Sanchez shares her struggles with mental illness, generational trauma and guilt, search for meaningful romance, and path to motherhood. Her writing is beautiful and real.
