2.0
Not as introspective as one would think it would be. And that may just be how she recalls it, or tells it, very matter of fact. But the other reviews share my gripes. And the writing feels very repetitive at times, with the same phrases and endings to paragraphs.
She seems proud that she never received any counciling after being kidnapped and abused for nine months. And she's just moved on and is perfectly fine? No nightmares? No anxiety? I'd like to believe her, but I have my doubts.
