bsimmonds's review against another edition

2.0

This story is important, heartbreaking, and worthwhile. Also, the writing is repetitive, with sentences from the previous paragraph repeated in a different word order... throughout the entire book. Somehow, it's still hard to follow despite the constant reminders to the reader. Overall, it's a valuable and unique perspective distracted by the writing itself.

serenedancer's review against another edition

dark emotional hopeful medium-paced

4.75

A heartbreaking book that is still hopeful. Told her story in a well written way while being brutally honest.

I first heard her talk on the Cults and Consciousness podcast, and was interested in hearing more from her. I would recommend this to many people.

My only complaint would be that the end of the army portion dragged a tinge more. But it wasn't bad, and it was needed to tell the story.
Check the trigger warnings!

dark informative inspiring reflective sad medium-paced

5.0

This book was so good. As a fellow female veteran, who experienced the Army around the same time as the author, so much of her experience rang true. It’s both disappointing and comforting to hear that other women had such similar experiences.

I understand that is it important to share these stories but the content is incredibly graphic and just not something I can read in my current mental state
