challenging emotional reflective slow-paced

3.75

I think I may have given this 5 stars when I first read it 7 years ago with one foot still in the closet. I still love the book and would recommend it, but it hit differently this time around. It’s pensive and measured. It captures the love-hate feelings we can feel towards family in a very matter-of-fact way.
