Michelle's writing is beautiful even through such a disturbing and sensitive subject. The book shines at the most memoir moments and that's where the 3 stars come in. I imagine this was incredibly hard to write, and I feel her overwhelm and distraction in the pages. I couldn't find the driving storyline, I think because it jumps back and forth in time so often it does feel like whiplash. I got confused on where we were, when we were, and who we are talking about.

I do think it's worth reading and I would recommend reading it alongside the documentary. The two support each other well.
