dark emotional informative reflective sad tense medium-paced

4.5

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.
