I found the army portions to be more engaging. I am curious of what she has to say about good versus bad leadership. It’s well written.

This book was compelling and impressive. Daniella is such a fighter and inspires me with her tale of grit. I was a little put off by how often d*ke was thrown around in this book…but I trust the author after she talks about meeting Obama shortly after Don’t Ask Don’t tell was repealed. Good read!!!

emotional informative reflective sad tense slow-paced

This book is so intensely personal and is literally what happened to her, so it's difficult to rate, but I think the quality of the story telling is really inconsistent throughout the book. Despite the efforts to create a through line, it felt like two different books, and ultimately glossed over a lot of what I would have been more interested in about her pist-cult life in favor of relitigating disagreements, telling army stories, and praising the military industrial complex even as she calls it a cult.
