I really enjoyed listening to this beautiful book read by the author on audio book.
this book was.. different. and personally, it was very relatable. I wanted to honestly take my time with this one..and I did..sort of
Lovely, threaded with sadness, but also love. Each poem/chapter has a topic, and the progression does not always feel linear, but the cumulative effect is to tell the story of Jackie's family and her growing awareness of herself as a writer. I read straight through without flipping to the end, so it was a delight to find pictures of the family on the last pages.
