I feel this has made me reflect on my life and given me hope that I'll also find equilibrium and the system that affirms my self.

Lyrical but disjointed.  We’ll-written but performative in its style.  Like a poetic art installation

This is more about bipolar 2, dyscalculia is more of an aside.

This book was not at all what I thought it would be. It is a wild ride of trauma and healing, I feel like I understand a piece of humanity better for having read it, but I was glad it was a short read. I don’t think if I’d fully understood it I would have picked it up, but with the short length and the fast readability it only made sense to finish it and I’m glad I did.

emotional reflective tense fast-paced

5.0

I loved this book. Tense rawness with which Feliz tells her story powerful and admirable. She talks about her trauma and struggles with mental illness in such an uncensored way that could be beneficial for other women with similar experiences.

I thought the the format of the book made it easy to get through despite the nature of the subject. Some pages have one paragraph or one sentence, and I thought this made the reader experience great. Big block of texts can sometimes be overwhelming and the structure allowed for breaks and breaths between all the awfulness that is addressed.

I can’t imagine how this book could have been better.
