I can't pinpoint exactly what about the memoire seemed lacking but it just wasn't great. Don't get me wrong. Worth reading. But lacking. I think maybe she wrote this too early during her recovery process. I would have liked more insight. More introspection and understanding of just how her mother's abuse affected her. Without that, it seemed more like a diary than a memoire.
I found this book heavily triggering to me. As someone with an ED, mommy issues, and dealing with a loved one diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia who thinks they are a heavenly being... It was a lot and I found it difficult to go through the story. So learn from my mistake and please check trigger warnings.
