Pieces of a Girl by Stephanie Kuehnert

dark emotional funny hopeful inspiring reflective sad medium-paced

5.0

I'm biased. Nonetheless, this book has a pulse that made me not want to set it down. Compelling, fascinating, moving, and very readable. The audio narration by the author is fantastic, and the audiobook comes with a cool 20+ page pdf of photos and drawings. She doesn't shy away from self-examination the way many memoir writers do - but while she's not always the hero, she is able to view her past self with a mature compassion, which feels needed through so many painful passages. This is a colorful story that feels very honest and real. After so much, the ending was very emotional. Of course, now I want there to be a follow-up, a sequel.
