Long Live the Tribe of Fatherless Girls

Starting 2022 off with reading a basically perfect memoir. It's a high note to start on in my reading-life, but I also fear that other books are going to pale in comparison. Heartbreakingly honest and messy and beautiful; the only time I put it down was when I needed to let the impact of a particular passage sink in. 5/5

This was a little tough to read at times, but it made me feel seen in so many ways and it made me think. I'd definitely recommend it, but to specific people.

I frequently find myself compelled by trauma/troubled childhood memoirs. This one revealed itself as something far different in its final third, which made it more of a mysterious, gorgeous piece than I initially perceived it as.
