I don't typically rate memoirs, but this one was just so good. 

Partly because I could see my own trauma all throughout and it was written in the second person which made it incredibly cathartic; but also because the author interspersed her memoir with information, other stories and events that paralleled or highlighted her, and others experiences and was written in an almost poetic manner.

Just such a phenomenal book.

The first time I gave this a try, I DNF’d it largely because me and audiobooks don’t gel and I didn’t like the narrator. The same was true this time around, as well, but I loved the actual content and I’m glad I gave it another go. It speaks on the authors personal experience with a domestically violent f/f relationship, but also speaks about what this means on a wider, larger scale. It was very good!
