5.0
The majority of Carrière’s life was incredibly hard to read. It certainly did not shy away from childhood neglect, self harm, addiction, paranoia, psychiatric malpractice, self indulgence, and so much more.
This wasn’t a read most people I know would enjoy. I’m still digesting it. One of my book club friends said that writing this memoir seemed therapeutic for Carrière, but traumatic for readers. That I agree with. Definitely check the trigger warnings before reading.
