informative inspiring reflective tense medium-paced

 Wow, this was a great introduction to Gypsy-Rose as a flawed human being who takes full accountability in her role regarding her mother's death, as a traumatized person who turned to drugs and dangerous behaviors to cope with the abuse, lack of self-worth, and a need for validation, as a victim of multiple abuses by multiple perpetrators, that manipulated, lied, and betrayed her, and as the woman who found freedom behind prison bars. (I know super run on sentence don't be hatin)

I really enjoyed this introduction and hearing about her growth, her plans for the future, seeing her vulnerability, and desire to simply live a happy life.

Looking forward to her full memoir.
