5.0

this was amazing. i loved this so much, i haven’t seen the whole movie but it definitely gave me a perception of what the book would be like but it was completely different, don’t expect a narrative story with a straight timeline. it is a collection of thoughts that the author has written 30 years after the experience with a better understanding of herself.

I don’t often give out 5 star reviews, but this book is certainly one that deserves it. This memoir will resonate with anyone who’s been in treatment. If you know, you know. 🌻💛
