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.

A brutally honest reflection of life. I’ve found myself drifting between wildly varying books and this one really made me stop and pause. There’s no doubt that this is a heavy read but there’s something deeply human about it and I love it for that. It adeptly captures the deep intricacies of relationships between people and the long lasting impact they hold for better or worse.

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.
