the book is structured as twelve interviews Cara Romero has with a job counselor, except you only get to hear/read Cara's words. Cara is open and candid, sharing all sorts of details about her life that get introduced in the first few interviews and further fleshed out in following ones. she's complicated and unapologetic about who she is and what she wants, but also shows remarkable growth throughout her life and these ~3 months that we spend with her. 

the audiobook narrator did a phenomenal job pulling the listener in from the very beginning. highly recommend on audio!
