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.

Just fucking masterful

This is exactly how you write stories of trauma - with reflection and compassion, and balanced with a gorgeous prose defined by its fine-tuned attention to detail

Check the trigger warnings because there’s some graphic stuff in this book but if you can stomach it it’s absolutely worth the read

1.0

I read this based off a BookTok recommendation and hated it. I should've read content warnings or something, but I continue to hate reading about rape. Throughout the book it just made me feel sad, angry, and upset, and just kept going. There's a slightly hopeful note at the end with the narrator but I don't think the fantastical stories shared throughout the book make up for all the rest of the depressing storyline. I don't want to ever think of this book again and the only reason I finished is to see if it got any better. Nope.

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
