I LOVED this memoir. It felt so incredibly authentic and hard and real and scary. It's definitely not a happy story, but it felt like reading Ms. Field's journals. Truly fuck everyone who made her life so rough. I will definitely want to revisit this one. I think this would be really interesting to analyze from a PTSD and coping mechanisms. And note to self - this was one of the one where all of the annotations disappeared on the Kobo.

I listened to the audiobook. It was great to hear Sally's biography in her own voice. It was a unflinching reflection on her life and the ups and downs of stardom. At times, it was deeply emotional and challenging to get through - I cried more than once! Her bravery in sharing her experiences with sexual abuse should be commended.
