This book was absolutely incredible. I enjoyed it very much, despite how hard it was to get through at times with how heavy it got. It's real and raw and so very important. A true look into complicated relationships and abuse and how that impacts one from a young age and into adulthood. And how living in the shadow of a loved one and them living through you vicariously can be damaging to one's self worth and identity. Jennette did an amazing job, and while I don't often read nonfiction or (auto)biographies, this was one I wanted to read for a while l, and I don't regret it one bit!
