The section where she spoke about how adulthood comes with reaching the point where you look at your parents and can finally see them as people going through their own problems instead of tyrants out to make your life miserable is something I related to quite a bit, and I am glad that she was able to reach that moment of understanding with her mom after everything.
Overall, the stories and reflections shared in this memoir were interesting and the gimmick of ending each chapter with Sorry and Not Sorry lists is really sweet, but there are topics that are discussed with less sensitivity than should be called for. It would seem that the unfortunate implications she makes while doing so are due to clumsy wording more than intentional malice, but the thoughts still hang there.
In the end, this is a book she wrote to reclaim and reconcile her life story in a way that would hopefully reach the people who needed to hear it so that they would know they're not alone in their experiences, and that's pretty great.

She makes some unfortunate implications about sex - mainly that people need to have sex in order to have a real relationship and anyone who doesn't want to have sex won't be able to have a successful marriage - but I didn't tag acephobia because it seems like she was intending to only address people who feel liberated by sex even if that was not how she worded it.
