dionnesims's review

dark emotional funny fast-paced

2.5

This would've been really great as a collection of essays, rather than a full memoir. As it is, I felt like there was a lot of filler and awkward transitions between chapters/stories.

Don't read this if you're easily triggered by descriptions of suicide attempts, eating disorders, or abuse especially.
