It feels weird to rate someone's memoir but I want to give it many stars to counterbalance the deductions by other reviewers based on the book's structure.
The non-linear narrative was a clever and interesting choice. If it feels fragmented, that's exactly the point. It is also refreshingly different from the more typical year-by-year account. This is not a typical autobiography after all.
