Somebody's Daughter by Ashley C. Ford
4.0
I picked this up on a whim because I remember Ashley appearing in a video with John Green and talking about the book and it sounded really interesting and spoiler alert, it was! I really really enjoyed her style of writing which wasn't too flowery but is still really beautiful.
She talks about family (with an abusive mother and incarcerated father), sexual assault (and the aftermath of it) and growing up and what it's like to find your footing in the world.
I wanna leave this quote here that appears near the end and almost made me cry: "You're going to miss it, I thought, I'm going to be so much better than I am now, and you're not going to be here to see it."
If you like memoirs I highly recommend this one.
TW: child abuse, rape
