The Terrible: A Storyteller's Memoir by Yrsa Daley-Ward

challenging dark emotional reflective medium-paced

3.5

Quite impressed - a great story of a young Black woman growing up in the institutionally racist UK, and the identity crisis and mental illness it can bring. Yrsa uses the free verse naturally without overdoing it
and I loved the cyclical ending of the unicorn in the rosebush
! I will say it was incredibly harrowing and took some pauses to process but should be expected due to the nature of the book.
