This is such a poignant, raw, and honest memoir. Jesse recounts truly traumatic and difficult times in his life, at times difficult to read - which left me reeling with the reality that he had lived all of this, that there are people living experiences like these even now.
Thistle recounted all of his lived experiences so incredibly well. There were small elements of dark humour, that shocked me when I had a little laugh in such a serious narrative. But I also cried at a few parts of his story, my heart hurting with his. It is such an important story and I am so glad I read his story.
