challenging dark emotional sad fast-paced

5.0

un libro maravilloso aunque a ratos difícil de continuar debido a los temas fuertes, tiene descripciones bien explicitas de situaciones traumáticas, pero si saben inglés recomendaría leerlo en su idioma original, ya que la traducción está hecha en españa y personalmente encontré que ciertas elecciones de traducción arruinaban el flujo de la historia, además de no acertar completamente en el tono.

dark emotional funny reflective sad medium-paced

4.5

Jennette's storytelling evolved within the book, remaining faithful to whatever age she was at a each chapter. She spoke so candidly and was brutally honest with her straightforward writing and humorous interjections. You could tell that this was catharsis to her and you cannot help but root for her.

This memoir was really difficult to listen to because of the way Jennette's mother treated her and her husband, Jenette's eating disorders, alcoholism, and denial, and her mother forcing her to be dependent and not allowing her to be her own person through emotional manipulation.
