3.5
The audiobook gets a bonus 0.5 star (not included) because it is narrated by an Irish man and every time he said “poor” it added a week to my life.

Spoiler
The last couple of chapters made me feel a little weird, otherwise this would've been 5 stars. Something about talking about the incredibly precarious situation these tapes put the unknown third individual in and then naming them and not really referencing any permission that was received to do so was uncomfortable to me after such conversations were referenced about other individuals. However, I did listen to the audiobook which did not contain the endnotes present in the physical one, so maybe (I hope) something is said there.Moderate: Alcoholism, Death, Mass/school shootings, Medical trauma, Child abuse, Kidnapping, Addiction, Eating disorder, Grief, Gun violence, Mental illness, Misogyny, Murder, Torture, War, Death of parent, Sexism, and Violence
