I enjoyed this memoir and the author’s perspective. I thought the theme of how her difficult early life informed who she was and how she handled her death was really interesting and well-developed. The only issue I had was the shifting perspective (eg frequent switching from past to present tense, some events referenced out of order). I believe this book was based on her blog but she added more chapters, and this could have been easily “cleaned up” by a good editor without changing the narrative — or even just adding annotations about what chapters were blog posts with dates.
