Acne: A Memoir by Laura Chinn
4.0
Acne is, as you might have guessed, a memoir about growing up with bad acne. However, the story is much more than that: there’s her parents divorce; underage smoking, drinking, and drugs; skipping school, cancer, deaths, pretty much all the tough things one can think of.
Laura Chinn is the author of Acne, and in it, she recounts her extraordinarily difficult childhood, but in a humorous way, so it’s not too dark. Her story is one of resilience, of overcoming, of making mistakes, growing up, and of letting go.
I read this book very quickly. The last part of it was not what I was expecting, but I wonder if that was the point.
