Gripping and raw. The lyrical way Mailhot writes about pain and trauma and grief will leave you gasping.

challenging emotional reflective sad tense fast-paced

4.75

Such a beautiful book. The writing is amazing, and the story being told is so captivating. I was immediately pulled in from the first page, and felt emotional the whole ride through.

There are many things I could not relate with, but I understood everything, and I felt like I was there -- spectating, watching, experiencing.

I've learned about myself and my own relationships just from seeing the perspectives in this book.

challenging emotional reflective tense slow-paced

Unfortunately, I didn’t fully understand everything in this book; however, it is a strong memoir that presents a lot of resilience.
