Such a tough book. So many terrible experiences. Twisted truth. Yet laced with the hope of change.

dark inspiring reflective medium-paced

2.5

It was a personal miss. Whilst the story was indeed informative and uplifting, I found myself bored and wishing the book would end faster. The footnotes and the notes at the end of the book I found to be the most interesting and reflective compared to the rest of the memoir. The story will stay with me for a long time but so will the feeling of boredom I had reading it, mainly due to what I thought was lackluster style. A good, if heavy, read, but I cannot give it more than 2.5 stars due to how much I disliked finishing it.
