This is a sad and hilarious story about loss, finding family when our own flesh and blood has let us down severely, and what we owe family members who hurt us. This book is equally funny and devastating and shows how easy it is to fall into potentially dangerous situations, or being taken advantage of (in this case by dad) when you’re still healing from trauma. Many women, particularly firstborns, are programmed to be good happy girls to the benefit of everyone but themselves, and this book shows the dire consequences of that: there’s nothing left for that good happy girl when she’s burdened with everyone else’s needs and wrongdoings. The details in the intimidate scenes are vivid and engrossing. All women can relate: what to do with slick underwear post-masturbation, female masturbation, there’s not enough of this in literature. I’m a straight female and appreciated the insight into lesbian relationships and couplings here. 10/10!
