My biggest issue with this book is that it's very poorly described. It claims (at least on my edition) to be largely about her relationship with her father and his conviction for rape, especially as Ford is a rape victim herself. But it barely touches on that. Her father's presence, and absence as the case may be, is important to her story, but the knowledge of his conviction is barely more than a troubling aside.

Even if that hadn't been how the book was sold to me, it felt so odd to hardly discuss that at all. A lot of this book is about feminism and rape culture, and what it means to grow up as a woman in this environment. Yet her father's conviction of rape was basically mentioned as he did a terrible thing. It bothered me that it was so present in the story and still so disregarded. The book didn't need to be about that, but the way it was written, it didn't work for me.

Beyond that, I really enjoyed this. She spends a lot of time discussing her relationship with her mother and the abuse she suffered as a child, as well as just what it meant to be her. It was fantastically written and she did a great job with the audiobook. I loved listening to it so much and was fully engrossed from start to finish.

Even with its flaws, I'd highly recommend this. Ford is a fantastic storyteller with a lot of insights.
