I see myself reflected in every page. This book was written for me, it's mine. 10 seconds after finishing this I am gatekeeping it. No one will get this book the way I do. Perfect from start to finish.

Thank you to Rebecca Solnit, Viking, and NetGalley for an ARC. I received the ARC nearly 5 years ago. I apologize for the delay in my review.
However, I am thankful that I have read this memoir now. There are things in it I do not think I would have picked up five years ago. I will read it again.
This book is gorgeous, which feels odd to say when it contains the topics it discusses.
This is a book that when I am asked about craft books, I will say aside from craft books, every writer should read this memoir. I learned more about writing in this book than the entire, same length writing craft book I read last and several others, for that matter.
I read this book in 2 days, which is as fast as I've read any book in the past few years. It isn't an easy read, but it is an important and beautiful read.

Nicely written with interesting themes. Sad to say I was bored though. But that's probably a me problem.

So insightful and informative but I wanted some of the vulnerability and detailed life moments of memoir.
