I enjoyed watching minka on Friday Night lights, so it was fascinating to learn more about her. I had no idea that her childhood was so tumultuous. This was not an easy book to listen to, but I definitely felt it was worth it. Minka does an excellent job at excavating her past and presenting it in a coherent and emotional manner. This was so much more than just a timeline of her childhood trauma, it was also clearly a journey of healing. I am a very nosy person and I enjoy getting to learn the inner workings of other people. This book was a fascinating and eye-opening read.

Wow I wasn’t expecting this to be so compelling to be honest. Not only is it beautifully written but the last 2-3 chapters you will just fly through because you are crying and beautifully heartbroken and just want to know how Minka is doing now.

What a story. I didn’t know much about her life if I’m being honest, and I think that was by her design. But I was very impressed with the way in which she gets vulnerable and lets us see who she is and how she got there.

Two lines from the book that I loved and will continue to think about:
1. “We blame our lovers and not our views of love” and OOF that one is hurtful but in a good way like a mirror.
2. “What got me through that time was the women in my life” - the way in which she discusses and promotes the importance of female friendship cannot be overstated. So many powerful examples of what that looks like and also how tender that love truly is. 

In the end, it has a similar note to Jeanette McCurdy’s book - and it’s so beautifully executed. Brava, Minka. 🥹❤️😭
