This was a heartbreaking memoir about Mailhot's experiences with mental health, family and love as well as her experience as an indigenous woman.
This memoir was so raw and felt very personal as Mailhot goes through her life. I love her poetic writing and the structure for the memoir! Please know that there is heavy content (tw: implied sexual abuse, violence).
I would not say that I enjoyed this memoir, but I'm glad I read it. For this reason, I will not be rating this memoir.

not sure how i would even rate this to be honest, how do you give a rating to a memoir and someone's life.
that being said, the writing was good although very confusing in the beginning. it just felt like hit after hit after hit from her mother to her father to childhood trauma and teen marriage while everything leads to not feeling like a good mother and being constantly disrespected by her partner. all of this combined with the harsh reality that is the indigenous life and how they're still part of a cultural and physical genocide (from erasure to missing women)

This book isn't for everyone. This is poetic yet a tough pill to swallow and, in the end, needed and important. The bouncing between ruined and ruing I found relatable. When you are mentally abused and gaslit you begin to question what truth is and what is not.
