5.0

Every essay in this book has stuck with different ways. Sarah Polley writes riveting reflections of her memories as a child actor, survivor of sexual assault and an artist and mother. While she fell victim so many circumstances that were out of her control, I never once felt that she was complaining about these circumstances but was taking us through them factually. Her writing style was perfectly palatable while also creating beautiful imagery (so much so that I stopped reading to ask my boyfriend if we can go to PEI this year) and heart-wrenching exchanges. This book left me feeling optimistic about facing things that scare me.
