The only reason this isn’t higher is because I had to skip the kitten scene. I feel that whole but could have been done in a different way and still been able to get the message across.

pacificsnail's review against another edition

Painful to read. There's way to write about trauma and I am convinced this is not it.
Stayed with me for a long time and not in a pleasant way. Had a hard time washing some of the images out of my head.

I will leave this book unrated. Incredibly written, painfully dark, and intensely important. Please check the trigger warnings before reading.

This falls in the niche genre that is “the authors love letter to their mother knowing they may never read it”. 
This book is here for all the female relationships one will have as a child and how these shape you and can almost break you. I am emotionally devastated

This is one of those books that feels too personal and real to give any sort of rating too; it simply transcends that. This book will stay with me forever, & has absolutely split me in two, while being a strange comfort simultaneously. If you are going to pick this up, know it represents highly triggering content to the extremes constantly, and is in no way shape or form an “easy,” or “light” read. It’s tough as nails, just like Betty
