dark emotional sad fast-paced

4.5

How do you rate a book that is someone’s serious lived experiences with so much trauma? This is such a sad book and it is so real. I’m glad that I read it to just kind of understand what people with different diagnoses and self-esteem issues consistently go through. This person has really gone through it all and I do like how the sex workers are able to help them process some of that and grow sexually. I think that’s something we don’t talk about in the US at all and it’s something that really Shows sex work in such a different light. I’m absolutely fascinated by the book and I’m really looking forward to going to sapphic Book Club to talk to other people about it. I think there’s so many triggers that some people truly should not read it but for me, I found it eye-opening and it really  Impacted me on how I see people and how they move through the world.

Relatable to people who've dealt with mental illness, endearingly frank and up front, and with a very cute and somewhat unique art style.

I didn’t know what to expect going in except that it was an autobiography. It was sad and genuine. The author captured the feeling of loneliness very well.
