I hadnt seen anyone post on this. Im more than halfway through the audiobook. I find it very well written and moving. Its very much a chance for the girl with the incandescent talent, boundless perkiness and beaming smile to strip away that facade and share the sadness and loss that shaped her.
Its more somber in tone than I expected but its never too much. Its a testament to what Sutton has overcome in her life to succeed as well how crafting and creating art grounded her and allowed her to feel effective in the face of adversity.
What I appreciate is her brutal honesty. Shes very open without being exploitative to her family or those whom she has dated/married. Its a very affirming story for those who have survived dysfunctional and at times cruel family, unhealthy relationships and interpersonal difficulties with peers.
I applaud her willingness to tell her story in such an unflinching way. She didnt need to, its certainly off brand for her. However it will help people understand her better and give them hope.
