jullietteh's review against another edition

Structuring the book alongside the structure of Lolita to mirror how her relationship with the teacher was modeled after the story was painfully effective. I had to keep reminding myself that this was a memoir and what I did it would crush me.

The immense clarity in her voice is her writing's greatest strength. I recognised so much of myself (although, thankfully, my relationship at that point in my life was not with a teacher) in her descriptions of youth, and desperation, and convincing yourself that because you want something, you're culpable when it hurts you. But you can't make anyone hurt you.
