challenging dark emotional fast-paced

4.5

An incredibly hard, heartbreaking, and uncomfortable reading. But an important one. It tackles hard topics head-on, with courage and even humor in the second part. You can sense the tone of the book changing in the different stages of Jennette's life as if you grow with her. Appreciate the final in which you can see that her opinion has turned around and she is in a better stage.

emotional reflective sad medium-paced

5.0

Hearing Jeanette's story is so emotional and raw. It can definitely be triggering if mental illness and parental abuse is something you struggle reading about. Outside of that, I highly recommend this book. It is so open and nostalgic. Jeanette is a born writer. You can tell writing this book was very therapeutic for her and I hope it encourages her to potentially write more in the future.
