5 stars on art and writing. This was clearly, a well-thought out book and very close to the author’s heart.

4 stars for my enjoyment. I got bogged down in the self-help section. Mostly because I’m not in an abusive relationship and I have done extensive work and research on manipulators so I didn’t need that information. I found myself getting bored - HOWEVER - it’s amazingly written in an easy to access way for those who do need it and I love how the author used her form for writing help to other victims.

Overall, this is fantastic. Also, I want the graphic novel about her living with an arm disease.
