I’m still not sure how I feel about this book. So raw and unfiltered and at times uncomfortable and yet I couldn’t put it down.

A rich deep and honest look into a life I will never understand being so far removed in my own personal circumstance and yet I was still able to relate with many of Edie’s thoughts and emotions. There were times I felt pity and care for her and times I felt jealous, her artistic ability, her confidence, her ability to understand and acknowledge her emotions.

I wouldn’t recommend this book to everyone but I wish that many people discover it them selves
