I'm Supposed to Protect You from All This by Nadja Spiegelman

DNF......I found I was constantly confused as to whose story I was being thrown back into due to the back and forth of mother's and daughter's storylines. Both were equally tragic, depressing and just made me feel broken and dirty and I haven't quite put my finger on what it was that bothered me so much-beyond the obvious awfulness of how these mothers mis-treated their daughters. I knew the premise when I chose to read think-I was picturing The Glass Castle-which I loved....this one I just could not stomach. Probably a reflection of where I am right now and what I need from my reading life. Maybe this ends on a strong note of survival and thriving and rising above generational trauma....but I just could not stick it out.
