Honestly- to bear some of the hardest moments in your life for people to read and learn from…. She did amazing. For most of the book, regrettably there’s always action and when there’s positive action- it’s at the moment you are so worn down that you can’t help but cry tears of happiness. I’m happy she included well into her recovery journey from all of the torment

The style of how she wrote her memoir just tugs at you as she goes from short passages here and there to just seeing how time devolved in that scenario. Again painful AF to have to put yourself back in that moment but just makes you think of how important all these coincidences of life and people doing their jobs right were in what are hopefully her worst moments in life

The way you can tell the bravery within every single page is crazy. Like it pains me reading but the pain is nothing compared to the lived experience and emotional labour of having to retell that. I’d recommend it for the sheer emotional toll that’s been shared
