This was a very powerful book. At times was hard to listen too but I’m struck by the strength it must have taken to share her story.

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.

challenging dark emotional funny reflective sad tense slow-paced

Good god. McCurdy’s writing is genius in this book, she tackles topics that many others would butcher but she lived them so she has no choice but to tell the truth; the whole brutal, gut twisting, illustrative truth. I’ve read this twice now and I’ll inevitably read it again. There’s no limit to what people will do for money, or to claw their way higher, and children’s lives, education, health and safety are no obstacles.

dark emotional funny hopeful inspiring reflective sad fast-paced

5.0

McCurdy's story is honest, gripping, and terribly sad, yet she tells it in a way that's compelling, interesting, and often funny. This book is full of vulnerability and does an excellent job of conveying the experience of abuse and psychological disorders. I wish I could read it for the first time again and again.
