Huge thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for providing me with an e-Arc in exchange for an honest review!

“I’ve always been a loud-ass bitch.” 

“Why should I have to change how I exist for other people’s comfort?” 

This is a very raw, real story that is undoubtably hard to read at times. Tommy Dorfman is an excellent writer, cutting hard moments with humor and gorgeous turns of phrase. 

I really loved the inclusion about how her parents met and Uncle Tommy, these stories were such great reads and so heartfelt. 

It was deeply moving reading about Tommy’s journey into becoming the person she was meant to be and how it didn’t look like what she really expected it to be. 

At times it was hard to tell the linear-ness of the story which made it sort of hard to tell where the reader was in the timeline of events. But at the same time I love how the story is told through a tarot card pull and the stories each card illicit.
