emotional hopeful reflective sad medium-paced

Oh my God. 
 I don't read a lot of memoirs or non fiction in general these days, but I am SO glad I read this. I smiled a lot, I cried, I was thinking about passages and phrases and quotes from it for hours afterwards. 
 I think this is hit so close because she talks about her relationships with her parents. The emotionally absent mother and physically absent father are figures I know only too well. She said so many things I've thought but could never articulate. 
 I recommend this to everyone. It is so, so good. So powerful. I know I'll be coming back to things I read in this book a LOT.
