This was one of the most unflinchingly honest and heartbreakingly touching memoirs I have ever read. Brittany Means has done the impossible. She has experienced more pain, neglect and abuse than one should survive, but she did. And not only survive, but she was strong enough to share her experiences with others in some of the most compelling prose I’ve read in a memoir. My heart is simultaneously breaking from sorrow and bursting with hope at what Brittany has accomplished here.

I felt like I was truly along for the ride of Brittany's life - as a passenger as she tells her story of life with her mom and all of the challenges that they face. Thanks to NetGalley and Zibby Books for the ARC for the purpose of this review. Brittany is brave in my opinion and really tells a raw story. Her writing style was fresh and unique to me compared to most memoirs I've read. Five stars!
