3.5
Solid memoir. The writing was decent.
I like how open it is - the writer recognises their own mistakes, as well as those of the people around them, and doesn’t try and sugar coat them. As it is a memoir, there were some parts where it felt like things were skipped over, but it is a memoir and as those things weren’t the focus of the book it makes sense they wouldn’t go into detail about them.
All in all, solid book.
