emotional reflective sad slow-paced

3.0

This book was advertised as the story of a woman learning more about her family’s history and it’s secrets. In actuality, it reads more like a young woman’s therapy journal. The writing is overall confusing, repetitive, nonlinear, and bitter. She still has a long way to go in terms of healing and I truly wish her the best on her journey.
