I listened to this one via the audiobook which I recommend! I really enjoy hearing the story in her voice - just like the first book. I liked this book - so crazy just realizing all the things she had to wait and experience so much later in life than normal. Her story is just so powerful - and honestly devastating.

It was slow and I couldn’t focus on it. Not even the audiobook was good.

I read Jaycee's first book two years ago and originally wasn't planning on reading this one, but it's always been at the back of my mind as "unfinished" so I decided to give it a try anyway.

It's exactly what it sounds like, her book of firsts. Some little things we take for granted were like a whole new world to her (and they would be when you've been kidnapped for 18/19 years), she describes it all with childlike wonder and I found it very endearing.

I also loved listening to her narration, she does sound young, but as someone who also sounds younger (especially on the phone) it didn't bother me. I'm glad I gave this a chance, it was a nice listen.
