Intense and enlightening. Some parts were so intense that I struggled to even comprehend that they were real and forgot I was reading a memoir. The depiction of imposter syndrome when she first got to uni, and the act of trying to cling onto a family dynamic she’d completely imagined, was just so good.
I did falter a bit with the pacing around halfway through (I think there was a bit of a crossroad where a lot more people were introduced at once), but cannot fault anything else.
