I liked this so so much. I liked the non-linear style, and I couldn't believe how upbeat Ms. Shannon has stayed through her whole life. Her relationship with her father felt disconcertingly familiar. She really captured the helplessness that children feel when their primary caregivers are inconsistent. But I think the most important part of this book is that Ms. Shannon doesn't apologize for any of her success. She easily says how successful things were and how funny they were and she's genuinely proud of her hustle without trying to downplay it. It was really refreshing. Absolutely recommend listening to the audiobook.
