3.0
Firstly, this is only my opinion of my engagement with the book as a piece to be consumed and does not diminish or cast judgement on Ashley's own lived experience.
For me this book was great to a point, but left far too much unanswered. Of course this is Ashley's memoir so it it ultimately her right what to include or exclude but I feel the marketing of this book left the reader expecting elements that weren't discussed.
Ashely bravely discusses her rocky relationship with her mother, her traumatic rape and her general life once she leaves home and this is where the book shines.
Overall I found it to be deeply interesting but I finished it with so many questions and felt Ashley maybe had more to say.
