EASY 5 ⭐️ READ!!!
⚠️T/W for mental illness, abuse sexual/emotional/financial/physical, death, cancer, vomiting, anorexia, drug use, alcoholism, relationships (parental/significant others)⚠️
As someone who also struggles (or has struggled) with above T/W and healed from most of them myself and continue to heal, this book was hard to digest at some parts. So please take caution.
I know some are mad at Jennett for speaking so harshly about her experiences and believe it should have been “toned down”. But I’m glad she was harsh. I related to that anger, grief, and bitterness. Others do too. The title says it all.
Her narration of her memoir is perfect. She does talk fast so I don’t recommend speeding up the audiobook. The audiobook was phenomenal. I loved hearing the emotion in her voice relating all the memories and even her inner monologue moments. It didn’t feel like she was reading her memoir to me. It felt like we were on the phone and she was talking to me. Friend to friend. Survivor to survivor.
