challenging dark emotional reflective slow-paced

3.0

This was a tough book to read. The sexual abuse, the way the author’s parents made choices that had horrible impacts on their family, and the overarching ache of loss … yeah, this was really tough to read.

However, I did like the stylistic choices of how the story was told. Each chapter/section felt like a mini-essay; the book as a whole was a collection of memories, told much in the way I remember things from my own life, as their own beats that don’t need to be connected to the memories around them to make one cohesive story.

Overall, I didn’t enjoy this book - it was too painful for that. But I connected with the author and her story in a real way, and all I want is to give her a big hug and hope she feels included and loved exactly where she is now.
