Corrections in Ink: A Memoir by Keri Blakinger

5.0

This searing memoir takes a bracingly clear-eyed look at an early life of eating disorders, addiction, and imprisonment after a hyperachieving youth. I loved it because of its raw honesty, and my longtime obsession with figure skating (Keri becomes an elite figure skater before the wheels come off). It also left me with a vivid picture of what it's like to be in jail and prison, and I'll likely have nightmares from her depiction of solitary confinement.

At the end, it's a story of redemption and survival, and she makes clear that white privilege helped pave the road to both of those places. Highly recommended.
