Gina’s Reviews > Nobody's Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice > Status Update

We are past the Epstein years, and somehow, reading about the whirlwind marriage (within 10 days of meeting) to Robbie, is more troublesome.

In no way do I fault her for grabbing a chance to escape and find a shred of normalcy, too often it feels like she's trying to convince us (and herself) how wonderful her new life and Robbie are. It feels forced.

Oddly, the abuse stories are easier to read than I had expected. Giuffe and Amy Wallace (collaborator) found the right "voice" -- at least for me. A survivor of SA may say differently.

Like some others, I find the jumps between Giuffe's past and present a bit jolting, as well as the in-line song lyrics. But who hasn't heard some lyrics, taken them out of context, and adopted them as an anthem for hope or change?

I made it through the Introduction. I hope that by reading one chapter at a time, I will be able to read the entire book.
