challenging dark emotional funny inspiring reflective sad fast-paced

5.0

Engaging - brutally so. Several moments I had to pause and stare at the page in disbelief. Things just keep happening, but there is a lack of self-pity imbued in the author's voice. 

I do think she did herself some disservice in skimming over her recovery. To continuously have to fight for your wellbeing is no small feat and it would have been nice for her to get her flowers. At least she probably does outside of the book, considering its success.

elbie6's review against another edition

emotional reflective fast-paced

5.0

Probably the best autobiography I’ve ever read. Incredibly charming and witty whilst also being completely soul shattering at the same time. Genuinely did not know whether to laugh or cry for half the book.

Incredibly tough read at some points however, so be mindful of the content/TWs before going into it.
