icarusandthesun's review against another edition
it is absolutely crazy to me that this is not fiction. it felt like fiction, because of the unhinged things that happen, and the weirdness of it all. while reading i frequently had to remind myself that this is actually a memoir, that a real human being went through these absolutely vile events. my sympathy for alisson wood is endless.
on a more technical note, the book had very short chapters, which i really enjoy. wood's writing style is flowy and keeps you invested. i also liked all of the "breaking the fourth wall" sequences, because they served as a means to entice but also to floor you and once again remind you that this actually happened.
a great book, really.

This book was a reflection on the child abuse of a girl in her late teens. A testament to the past and a way to move forward. Unfortunately, my critiscm of this book would be the romanticisation of some aspects (I understand this was from her perspective), as well as the surface level analysis of mental health and sexual abuse. Overall, this was still a very personal journey from the author whose story I would not discredit.
