challenging emotional reflective fast-paced

an incredible book. read it in a little under two days, just couldn't tear myself away. 

it is absolutely crazy to me that this is not fiction. it felt like fiction, because of the unhinged things that happen, and the weirdness of it all. while reading i frequently had to remind myself that this is actually a memoir, that a real human being went through these absolutely vile events. my sympathy for alisson wood is endless.

on a more technical note, the book had very short chapters, which i really enjoy. wood's writing style is flowy and keeps you invested. i also liked all of the "breaking the fourth wall" sequences, because they served as a means to entice but also to floor you and once again remind you that this actually happened.

a great book, really.
