nrogers_1030's review against another edition

The writing is good, but there are far too many detailed descriptions of abuse. As the author is a survivor of indescribable abuse, I understand her need to process this and put it in her book. That being said, it’s too much for me to handle.

This is one of the best memoirs I've read in a while. A clear story told well, I read this in an afternoon and look forward to seeking out more works by this author.

If you're reading a later edition, please skip the Prologue, as it has spoilers. The copy I had was from the first run, but I had been warned ahead of time to steer clear. Please also check the content warnings before reading.
