theappendices's review against another edition

challenging dark emotional reflective sad fast-paced

1.0

Opinion: I'm so glad Crystal got to tell her story. I don't believe it all but good for her mental health to get it out. From an sa tw point this is a very graphic read. This as all books from the "girls" are necessary for any former GND fan to acknowledge. You don't have to agree with her but definitely acknowledge it.

How it's written/pacing: It's ok. It does seem like it is more "dear diary" style than professionally written and edited. It is a very fast read but also because of how dark it is can be jarring.

My ratings system: 1,3,5 only
1 star - read thru/not dnf
3 star - liked the book
5 star - left an impact/vibes were vibing
