CW: adultery, domestic/child abuse, sexual content, drug use/addiction, racism (use of terms like g*ps*), casual ableism (use of words like d*mb, j*nk*e), birth, mental illness, toxic relationship, self harm, sex work, gaslighting

this was a beautifully written memoir full of heartbreaking & heavy moments in the authors life but still lined with hope.

This book was excellent. Febos’s writing is tactile, lyric, and tender. It’s refreshing always to read fellow queer women’s writing, and hers especially so.
