There’s so much in this book that I want to quote. Maybe the reason is that I, too, am someone who thinks about the relationship between self and story. Maybe I’m looking for a new way to understand the world and the self and the boundary between them, or lack thereof. “Everything survives,” Rojas Contreras writes, and it’s both a comfort and a warning. I’m gonna be thinking about this one for a while.

macaronoui's review against another edition

challenging informative sad tense medium-paced

4.5

This memoir is unlike any memoir I have ever read. I’m not sure any words will properly describe this book or how I felt reading it. Ingrid from Colombia, tells a rich history of a violent and dangerous place to living as an adult in the US. In this books she takes us through her families history. Ingrid’s writing is impeccable and incredibly good. You get sucked into all of the places she goes and people she meets. While a very intense read, I’m glad I read this.

The eating disorder content is contained to a couple chapters near the end of the book (for those who might need to skip it); I listened to audiobook and don’t have the page numbers.
