5.0

Wow wow wow. I don't usually give star ratings to memoirs because it feels unfair but this book deserves all the stars, plus I need a way to mark it to stand out from others I've read this year. Because it did, does, and will stand out. I was so emotionally moved and cried so hard through some parts of this book. The parts about finding long lost family members really touched me because I've had similar experiences.

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.
