The Way I Used to Be

Beautiful and heartbreaking. This was one of the most raw and honest books I've ever read. The way Eden deals with her trauma is so so honest and we are able to see exactly how an event like this shapes who you are for the rest of your life. I love how this book holds nothing back. I did have a couple issues, the main one being the time frame. Because it spans over four years, it feels a little rushed. If it had been over two years instead I think it would have run a bit smoother. I also really wish we got to see more of her relationship with her parents before and after because they were hardly in the story. But overall, this was a stunning book i won't be forgetting any time soon.
