Beautifully written. A bit difficult at times, the subject matter starts out hard but it is more than worth seeing it out to the end. This is what a memoir should be

Absolutely incredible memoir. I had never heard of Alice or either of her parents before but was recommended this book by a friend, who knows I love memoirs and hearing stories of people's lives. Getting to hear Alice share herself and her family was magnificent and heartbreaking. Her writing was insightful, funny, poetic, and real. Hearing her narrate it herself brought so much to it as well. Incredible.

When I read the last sentence of this book, I whispered, “holy shit” to myself and then burst into tears. This book was unflinchingly honest, horrifying, raw, and then it was so overwhelmingly beautiful that I cried three separate times (including the very end). I can 100% see why Jeanette McCurdy recommended it. Unbelievably impressive debut. Brave, well-written, heartbreaking, and healing.

Oh wow. I didn’t know what I was getting nails into with this one. Full of triggers!!!! So beware before opening the book. Hard for me to know who I’m angrier with on behalf of the author - her father or her psychiatrist. Every time I thought it couldn’t get worse, so it did. But I don’t think I’m giving away the ending by saying I’m glad she pulled herself together, because I don’t think she could’ve written this book otherwise.

Sad and disturbing. I don't want to know the details of people that live like this : I'm sorry the author grew up in these environments.
