aliwhaley's review against another edition
5.0
As a writer, her ability to convey at once how she felt at the time events unfolded, whilst also conveying the incongruity of those feelings now that she has reflected and grown, but also having compassion for her former self is astonishing. She writes terrifying people, and yet their moments of loveableness are believable. You feel every blow with her.
And, as a human, her strength is just incredible. I wish everybody in a similar situation could read this book and know they’re not in the wrong
