I was supposed to drop this book today because I was in a reading slump, I've started a bunch of books and none of them stuck, Rat Park included. But then I decided to give this a try because even if I'm in a reading slump, I'm not blind to when a book looks good. And, what do you know, in 2-3 hours, I devoured this book. There were a lot of lines that stuck to me, I have, like, 30+ highlights from this book? I am so excited to recommend this book to everyone I know.
Seeing Dominic's journey from being alone to having friends, a lover, and a family? How could you not cry, how could your heart not scream? This book is beautiful, in more ways than one. I wish I had more words to describe how much this book touched me but words are not enough, you have to actually experience the book.
When Jennette McCurdy said, "I yearn to know the people I love deeply and intimately—without context, without boxes—and I yearn for them to know me that way, too." That made the book for me.
What can I even say about this book that other people haven't? It was so real and raw and it made me feel like shit. And I mean that in the best possible way. Maybe it was because Jennette is writing about her own life and her own experience but every word in this book was perfect. I loved Jennette's writing in a way I can't explain. I wish Jennette the best, she deserves it after all the shit everyone, especially her mom, made her gone through.
although it was a bit boring, I waa going to give it 3 stars just because I didn't really hate it but I didn't really love it either but then the last 25% of the book happened. It was so messy. I don't like how it was resolved either.
