Becoming Shameless by Eden Simchah
5.0
Becoming Shameless is a stunning and emotionally impactful memoir. Fans if I'm Glad My Mom Died and What My Bones Know will resonate deeply with Eden. This is a very brief read, but the messages will stay with me.
Eden bravely tells the story of her childhood with an emotionally abusive mother. Through her eyes, we get to see Eden recognizing that the treatment she perceived to be normal was not okay. Watching her slowly gain courage, self-worth, and confidence to set boundaries, accept her identity, and care for herself was beautiful.
Eden describes important topics of battling internalized homophobia, disordered eating habits, and healing trauma through therapy.
This quick read was powerful and worth every second. I'd like to save the final chapter of Eden's life lessons and continuously learn from them!
Thank you so much to the author for the e-ARC in exchange for this honest review!
