I'm glad Jennette wrote this book.

A lot has been said about this book, so I largely just want to echo it: it's great, it's moving, it's horrific, it's informative, it's thought provoking, it's moving, and it's vulnerable. Content warning for parentification, emotional abuse, childhood neglect, and disordered eating (lots of it). I really appreciated having the simultaneous perspectives of both past and present Jennette relaying her experiences, one chilling detail at a time.

Recommended for people with complicated relationships with family members, people who feel the best years of their lives were lost to things beyond their control, and people who aren't quite sure where they should go from here.
