This made for a book that felt like a work of fiction, rather than a memoir. I'm not questioning the validity of the story at all, but Wong's disconnect from these events made it seem as though she has not fully processed things and really should be getting the help she needs (and deserves), rather than turning her story into a memoir. I'm just not sure what I'm supposed to learn from this, other than that untreated mental illness is traumatizing for the people around you and absolutely changes the outcome of your life, none of which is a revelation.
