I don't love rating memoirs.   Feel like it's rating a life.  I didn't like Lucy's writing style.  I do think it's an important story and appreciate her sharing it with us.

I get the message but it was painfully slow to read and not engaging for me. That said a plethora books exist because people view th3m differently.  So perhaps you'd enjoy it.
