spainbrain 's review for:

4.0

3.75 stars. The tale of her childhood was gripping, relatable, and had enough substance to keep me reading. Though the style and narration aren't my particular jam, I can understand why Beth Kephart included this on a reading list of recommended memoirs. Telling such a difficult story with neutrality must have been a difficult task.

Extra .75 of a star because I found myself highlighting a lot of passages where the wording and emotion were so perfectly executed.
