This book feels like a writing assignment you rush to type out in Google Docs at 11:00 p.m. when it’s due at 11:59 p.m.
I know that may sound harsh considering it’s a memoir and it’s real, personal stories, but this book seemed very surface level and was so full of grammatical errors that I kept wondering How did this get published? and Did no one proofread this? I counted over ten!
The ending definitely got more personal but most of the book just felt like zooming through her life and only catching split-second glimpses. I borrowed this book from my library to read and frankly I think I’d be upset if I had actually spent money to read it.
