Heart Berries by Terese Marie Mailhot
2.0
I'm always conflicted about rating and reviewing memoirs- it feels like a very fine line between validating and invalidating someone's experiences, their existence, their opinions, their feelings, etc.
But when it comes down to it, generally, I rate them simply based on writing style and how well the book flowed for me- was it easy for me to follow along with the timeline, was it relatively easy to follow all the who's-who of everyone involved, etc.
Although Heart Berries has a lot of beautiful passages and touches on some very important points, I more often than not felt very lost and confused. I struggled to follow the order of events and sometimes it was hard to keep track of everyone involved- such as who was being spoken of or to specifically at any given moment throughout the book. In that regard, the writing style was just not for me.
Even though I only gave it two ⭐, I still feel it's certainly worth reading.
