dark informative tense medium-paced

4.5

Tough listen but such an important topic. First party character, driven telling the story of a woman, slowly realizing what her life means.

The way Tara is able to capture how trama and love and cause such conflicting emotions in oneself is so beautiful and sad. What an amazing story that her writing brings to life on the page.
