4.0
I had this book added to my horror tbr shelf by accident— finishing it now has me decided that it does kind of belong there. I’ve had to put this down and read three of those dark-themed books off that list to help myself, only to realize after picking this one back up that this might be the most horrifying read I’ve had so far.
But Tara’s prose is beautiful and deliberate that the book really does read like fiction. To be reminded every other page that this is a memoir was a horrifying experience, nearly even had myself convinced it was otherwise if it weren’t for those footnotes. No, the events that happened in this book were very much real and Tara is very much alive and educated and thriving and honestly and respectfully, *insert lucille bluth’s good for her pic*
Bro I hope she finds peace
