Goodbye, Sweet Girl: A Story of Domestic Violence and Survival by Kelly Sundberg
i don't feel comfortable rating a memoir that felt so intimate and raw so it will remain unrated, but i will say that i devoured this whole book in an evening. this was a difficult read, particularly the moments where she reached out for help, to her family, friends, and others, and no one helped.
one of my favorite parts of this book, however, where the glimpses we got of her relationship with her mother. mother-daughter relationships are so complex and difficult, and this book really explores how you can both resent your mother for the times she failed you, while also mourning and acknowledging all the trauma she herself went through. if you have mommy issues, this will hit.
