dark emotional reflective sad tense slow-paced

be very careful before picking this up. please check the content warnings!! 

while the first part of this book is hard to read due to the content, it is a very important story and perspective. however, the second part takes a big turn and becomes about serving in the military and contains some comments and opinions i think are kinda bad. take that for what you will.

A shocking and tough read. An autobiography told with so much honesty and raw detail that makes you feel as if you’re sat down beside the author listening to the recount of her life. An interesting parallel of similarities between her life born into a cult and her life in the military, with a heavy emphasis on the experience of being woman.

This book was so good. As a fellow female veteran, who  experienced the Army around the same time as the author, so much of her experience rang true. It’s both disappointing and comforting to hear that other women had such similar experiences.
