Somebody's Daughter by Ashley C. Ford

emotional reflective sad slow-paced

2.5

There were some really engaging moments in this book that made it hard to put down, where I really felt like I was propelled back into the author’s memories and experiencing her relationships. However, overall I struggled with the cadence of the writing (maybe? Not sure how to describe it) and felt like each chapter was both its own essay, but yet wasn’t. I also agree with others’ thoughts that I had expected the story to deal more with the author’s reckoning with her father’s crime, once she learned what it was, and I don’t feel like we really leaned into that.
