The Way I Used to Be

I do NOT recommend this book if you are a victim of SA unless you've done a LOT of processing and are willing to get punched in the stomach emotionally. This book wasn't even close to my experience but the way things are described will get you. On to the review.....


On one hand, this book was vivid enough to trigger a visceral reaction in me. I cried the last 2 chapters. On the other hand, it really doesn't have much plot besides a downward spiral, and I felt that it could have done better at portraying key moments in Edy's story. Very emotional, but lacking substance.
