challenging dark emotional reflective sad medium-paced

4.0

this was such a devastating memoir. i loved how the voice throughout most of the story aged as the story progressed. the beginning has such a child-like voice which adds to how you feel for the author and what she went through. this was a hard but rewarding read.

emotional reflective sad medium-paced

3.5

Really interesting book that displayed conflicting emotions towards family and a different look at poverty in America. So many different emotions went through me while reading this, many happening at the same time.
