elysianbud's review against another edition
4.75
All the reviews on the back seem to describe it as "funny", but I'm not sure that's quite the right word?
Jennette writes in a sort of deadpan, matter-of-fact way, so I could see how one could interpret her presentation of the absurd behaviour she has had to endure in her life as humourous, if only it weren't so absolutely heartbreaking. I really don't think "funny" is the right word for the depictions of toxic relationships in this book. I suppose one could argue the surreal humour angle.

Spoiler
I think I’ll have that image of the first time she mad herself vomit bouncing around my brain for a while. That scene was too graphic for me, but I understand why she might have included it.Graphic: Death of parent, Emotional abuse, Vomit, Sexual content, Terminal illness, Toxic relationship, Addiction, Cancer, Child abuse, Domestic abuse, Eating disorder, Gaslighting, Mental illness, and Physical abuse
