dark emotional funny hopeful inspiring reflective sad medium-paced

5.0

A perfect book for girls who grew up with fathers but not dads, for girls who had more identity crises by 20 than most have in a lifetime, for girls who were betrayed by their families, and for girls who love their families despite all that.

challenging dark emotional reflective sad tense medium-paced

4.0

I'll be honest that I read this book because it is a peek into the life of a family I already know quite well. That said, it still ended up being pretty jawdroppingly shocking. I know it's autobiographical but it just felt like an onslaught of tragedy. Too much bad stuff happened and it didn't feel like much of anyone was redeemed. It's real life, I know, but quite a bummer to read. Not sure what I am supposed to take away from people being so tremendously horrible to each other and themselves. Heart break. I guess the win is T Kira grew up and got a book deal...

dark emotional hopeful reflective sad slow-paced

4.5

This is very much a "all the trigger warnings" very seriously kind of book but it's a really good read nonetheless

The last chapter of the book was honestly my favorite part especially with it going back and forth between her and her mom's timeline

I don't have much to say besides READ. THIS. BOOK. Anyone wants a suggestion for a good memoir to read this is it
