MAKE A HOME OUT OF YOU
Ginella Testa
Thank you @booksforwardpr for my early review copy. These thoughts are my own. *note- I do not rate memoirs.
Ginelle’s story is an unflinching and often heartbreaking look at life with multiple addictions. Starting at age 13 with webcamming to seek love and attention sadly lacking in a home with addiction and little attention and continuing on to drinking and drugs in high school along with body image and disordered eating issues, Ginelle’s life is laid bare. Several times while reading I audibly said, nooo Ginelle. That is not to say I judged her but to empathize with what life dealt her. Following her path with recovery, engaging in painful relationships and navigating her way to healthy ones, and the self discovery of someone dealing with questioning in LGBTQIA + was remarkable. She shows enormous resilience and strength and her story needs to be heard by all.
Highly recommend.
