I hate this. The author uses metaphors several times per page in a way that feels like a heavy handed attempt to demonstrate she’s a Good Writer. I’ll give it another chapter, but it’s awful so far.

It’s too early in the book for this, but I don’t like the author/narrator or her writing style. Reminds me of a couple other memoirs I’ve disliked where there’s an overall “woe is me, I’m a victim” vibe simultaneously with a “you won’t believe what a rebel I was” narrative. Surprised it’s rated so highly. Maybe my opinion will change but this seems superficial and poorly written.

This book is not good. How on earth does it have a 4.33 rating? Feels like it was written by a middle school student.

There’s such a glaring hole in the premise that I can barely get through this. I even restarted the audiobook after 2 hrs to see if I’d missed something, but nope.

I am not having fun.

Jesus take the wheel. I blame kindle for me not realizing that I was picking up a 671pg book in the middle of a reading slump. Woof.
