marieqc's review against another edition

this just felt so so close with obviously certain differences but the main thing which is the awareness that your mom is the one you will love the most and the one who will love you the most as well as the person who you'll probably have the most difficult relationship with and the one it takes you years to see as a person just like you, a complete person besides the one thats always being your biggest supporter and critic,,,,, yeah it hit!
this book, Michelle's story and her feelings were like a little glimpse inside of my mind and my worst fears as well, I was almost crying during 80% of this. I don't think I can accurately judge the narrative or the writing because I feel like I'm critiquing her real feelings and healing process? I saw myself too much on this.
I was also listening to the audiobook that was read by the author so I think that added to the experience

This book is very detailed and that helps capture the story and feel like you're living it, but also is very detailed about the stuff I wasn't as interested in. The story's non linear elements, particularly at the start didn't really do it for me.
Overall a really good read.
