I think this memoir did a good job with detailing Jada's early life and understanding why she is the person that she is. She admits that there were mistakes that she made in her life, and she's actively trying to be a better person. I even like the portions at the end where she asks the readers questions about their lives based on the theme(s) of the chapter. My only issue with this book is that it does feel a bit long to go through and a bit too enlightened. There is a sense of distance, especially when it comes to explaining the entanglement between her and August and I wished she would have went a bit deeper to explain it, rather than a rushed section.
Moderate: Addiction, Alcoholism, Death, Drug abuse, Drug use, Emotional abuse, Death of parent, and Abandonment
