Life in the City of Dirty Water: A Memoir of Healing by Clayton Thomas-Muller

christie_esau's review against another edition

challenging sad medium-paced

3.5

The first third of this book can feel like trauma dumping and thus merits a lot of trigger warnings; the narrative isn't exactly cohesive and tends to switch times/focus fairly frequently.
