Hard to read but hard to put down.

Real life was not a joy to read but had me captivated from the start. Dark and lonely, I’ve never read anything that captured the feelings of loneliness and the feeling that your life isn’t quite right. Left me tender hearted especially after the ending.

This book felt like it was a white woman writing about race. Some parts were well written, a lot made me shake my head with the descriptions.

Rich in descriptions, moving and so much heartbreak and hope for the author. Love a good memoir but it was a bit long for me.

Really enjoyed this one, especially first half. However, the one pivotal moment really upset me and left me reeling for days and definitely brought it down from a five star read for me and made it harder to finish.
