dark reflective slow-paced

2.0

So disappointing. The essays just did not slap. Very disjointed. Peace and blessings to the author on her healing journey.

challenging dark emotional informative mysterious reflective sad slow-paced

4.0

Don’t listen to the audiobook. Read the words, the narrator is a terrible mismatch to the subject matter.

lancakes's review

challenging reflective

4.0

Incredibly well crafted as a whole, but some parts weren't as strong for me personally (specifically the Red Dead Redemption conclusion, and some of the other cultural references. It was also really hard for me to read because of all the trauma.

challenging dark emotional reflective tense

4.5

Intense read that builds in such clever but clearly authentically, deeply felt ways. You don't often see such craft and catharsis in the same piece of writing.
