- This book is incredible. Madden is detailing some horrific events, and yet this book is so tender, both toward her younger self and her family.
- At first I wasn't sure about the vignette style of storytelling, with all the jumping around in time. I'm glad I stuck with it, though, because the way Madden's story unwinds at the end of the book is spectacular.

The quality, tone, vocabulary of the writing here... It's just so good. I heard someone else (on a podcast probably) describe T Kira Madden's writing as lyrical and I can't disagree. This was such a powerful read for me and I'm sure I'll come back to thinking about it for a long time.
