erica_reads_things 's review for:
The House of My Mother
by Shari Franke
emotional
reflective
sad
fast-paced
A very relevant and harrowing look inside the repercussions of mommie vloggers and the impact they can have on their developing children. Of course with Shari's family there are added layers of manipulation, religion, and abuse. But this look into Shari's experience with navigating all of this while with a camera in her face for years is such a unique and important perspective in 2025. A great read. I highly recommend listening to her read the audiobook herself.
