challenging dark medium-paced

3.5

Dark, and bitingly witty, Wong regales us with her horrifically abusive experience growing up in a disturbingly undiagnosed mentally unwell family. It is a truly chaotic experience that almost feels like fiction except that it's too caustic and surreal to be made up. The good news is, Wong survives and manages to gain a solid understanding of how wild and unhealthy her experiences were. However as a book it's very heavy, flippant, and tough to read with the cruel humour.
